Established in 1883 at Holy Family Parish in Chicago, Catholic Order of Foresters fraternal insurance society began as a way to offer financial support to families who suffered the loss of a breadwinner. Back then, impoverished immigrants came seeking a better life in the United States. When tragedy struck, friends and neighbors often collected money to cover burial expenses and keep survivors from starving.
Those making burial collections gradually formed associations, usually based on religious or ethnic background. These associations became focal points for community life and later evolved into various fraternal insurance societies such as Catholic Order of Foresters.
Our Founders chose the name “Catholic Order of Foresters” to symbolize true foresters who care for and protect woodlands and natural resources. That is still Catholic Order of Foresters’ mission today, as we offer members not only financial security, but also opportunities for spiritual, social, and charitable growth.
Catholic Order of Foresters ranks among the largest not-for profit membership-based fraternal benefit life insurance societies in the United States. Headquartered in Naperville, Illinois, since 1983, Catholic Order of Foresters’ membership
numbers more than 139,000 Catholics and their non-Catholic family members.
Catholic Order of Foresters (COF) offers members outstanding financial protection and security through quality term and whole life insurance and annuities. A field force of more than 300 professional agents, in 30 states and the District of Columbia, provides customers with friendly, personal service.
Unique added-value fraternal benefits enhance COF membership, setting the society apart from commercial competitors. These benefits include twenty $5,000 college scholarships awarded annually to qualified members as well as ten $600 educational grants for post high school education, as well as tuition assistance for member youth attending Catholic school or religious education programs. In addition, members may receive a no-cost prescription discount card and participate in a long-term care provider discount program.
Catholic Order of Foresters’ business success allows the society to develop, support, and provide resources for charitable and fraternal activities, as well as community, school, and church outreach and programs. Through a Matching Funds Program of charitable giving, COF and its members raise money for school, parish, community, and humanitarian needs. During 2005, the Matching Funds Program disbursed more than $1 million, and COF members donated approximately 195,000 volunteer hours in the name of fraternalism. And separate nationwide fundraising efforts enabled the Society to present a $44,144 check to the Archdiocese of New York Catholic Charities in the wake of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks and a$100,000 check to Catholic Charities relief efforts in the hurricane ravaged states of Louisiana and Mississippi.
