Thank you for your interest in the Member Relief Fund. The 2023 funds have been distributed, and applications are no longer being processed. If you have any questions, please call 309-732-8272.


Since 1921, our Member Relief Fund has provided monetary assistance to Beneficial Members experiencing financial hardship resulting from illness, accident, or natural disaster. Royal Neighbors recognizes that our members could be faced at any time with medical expenses because of illness/personal injury or damage to their homes and personal property as a result of an unforeseen natural disaster. It’s a program we hope members never have to use, but it’s available whenever you need it.
