Royal Neighbors of America is a fraternal benefit society whose mission is to protect women and their families financially through life insurance and annuities and empower them to improve their lives, families, and communities. Royal Neighbors was founded
in 1895 by nine pioneering women on the belief that when we come together, we can make a difference and drive change for the better.
