Catholic Order of Foresters is a Catholic fraternal benefit life insurance society dedicated to providing members with financial security and opportunities for spiritual, social, and charitable growth. It was founded in Chicago in 1883.

The Fraternal Legacy Rider (FLR) is a rider that can be added to certain life insurance policies. When you purchase a COF life insurance policy with a death benefit of $50,000 or more, you can add the FLR to your policy. It provides an additional five percent death benefit to a Catholic charitable organization of your choice at no additional cost to you. The rider’s flexibility allows you to name multiple charitable beneficiaries. For more information, visit this page!

Please contact a local agent or the Home Office for more information about how to become a member.

A fraternal benefit society is a not-for-profit membership organization that unites people who share a common bond (such as faith) and provide them with opportunities for financial security and community service.

Fraternal benefits are something COF offers to every member. They set us apart from other insurance companies.

These benefits include scholarships, tuition assistance, member magazine, art contests, discount prescription program, discounted long-term care health services, and other policy specific living benefits. You are eligible for most of these benefits from the moment you become a Catholic Order of Foresters member. For additional details, click here.
