About Modern Woodmen:

Modern Woodmen is about people. Created for our members. Owned and operated by them too. Together, we’re here for each other, for our families and for the communities we love. We are a member-owned fraternal financial services organization.Together with over 700,000 members, we’ve been touching lives and securing futures since 1883. Modern Woodmen's financial strength is anchored in a robust asset base of $17.14 billion.

Our Competitive Difference:

At Modern Woodmen, our unique fraternal component sets us apart in giving back. While many companies contribute to charitable causes, our distinct approach involves making a local impact. We run programs that directly channel funds to communities on a grassroots level. While contributing to larger organizations like the Red Cross or United Way is commendable, there's a profound significance in writing a $4,000 check to a local community striving to build a playground or help cure a kid battling cancer. At Modern Woodmen, we don't have clients; we have members, fostering a sense of belonging to something greater than oneself. This inclusive approach makes giving back, both in terms of time and money, effortlessly meaningful.
