Do You Know Someone With A Dream?

What does an anti-bullying program for girls, renovating a home for women in crisis, and publishing a magazine to help build girl’s self-esteem have in common? All are past recipients of Royal Neighbors of America Nation of Neighbors Program.

Nation of Neighbors provides financial support to empower women to achieve their full potential, realize a sense of renewed personal growth, and give back to their communities. The nomination process is in progress and submissions will be accepted through July 31, 2015.

“Royal Neighbors has a long-standing tradition of empowering women,” said Cynthia Tidwell, president/CEO of Royal Neighbors of America, one of the nation’s largest women-led life insurance organizations. “Nation of Neighbors is a tangible example of our neighbor-helping-neighbor philosophy; however, the positive impact of this program creates a ripple effect that reaches far beyond the recipients and communities it serves.”

Royal Neighbors of America, one of the nation’s largest women-led life insurance organizations, empowers women to meet the needs of their families with annuities and life insurance products such as whole life, term, final expense, and universal life. It has the financial strength and stability to ensure its nearly 180,000 members are protected when the expected, and unexpected, happen. In addition to insurance products, Royal Neighbors provides value-added membership benefits, which currently include scholarship opportunities, free and discounted legal services, health and retail discounts, and participation in volunteer activities that give back to communities through the organization’s local chapters. Royal Neighbors’ philanthropic efforts are dedicated to changing women’s lives through its national programs, including the Nation of NeighborsSM Program, and through the Royal Neighbors Foundation, a 501(c)(3) public charity.

Member benefits are provided at the discretion of Royal Neighbors of America and are not available in all states. They are not part of any insurance or annuity contract and are not guaranteed. Royal Neighbors is licensed in 43 states and the District of Columbia and not all products are available in all states.

Royal Neighbors is headquartered in Rock Island, IL, with a branch office in Mesa, AZ. For more information, visit www.royalneighbors.org or call Sally Marks at (480) 970-2521.
