Membership & Contributions Across America

Fraternal benefit societies represent more than 7 million members in the US, $600 million in contributions to community service projects, and 51 million in volunteer hours in 2023. By volunteering their time and coming together to help their communities through charitable service, members of fraternal benefit societies make a large and sustained economic contribution to the United States. These benefits come about in two ways: directly through the contributions of money and time by members of fraternal benefit societies, and indirectly through the benefits generated when the efforts of fraternal members deepen the bonds within communities and improve the lives of their residents
