Faith in Action | Gleaner Life

Faith In Action

Since 1894, Gleaner has helped communities thrive through its mission to provide financial protection, fraternal benefits and volunteer opportunities for its members. As a not-for-profit faith-based organization, Gleaner helps members achieve their financial goals through a broad range of life insurance and annuity solutions tailored to meet their needs, but the Society offers more than financial solutions. Gleaner provides volunteer opportunities for its members and financial support to help strengthen the communities where its members work and live.   

All about arbors

All Gleaner members are invited to participate in service groups, which we refer to as arbors. Through these volunteer efforts, Gleaner members connect with others to provide services and financial support to strengthen the communities in which they live and work. As an arbor member, you'll have the chance to plan and participate in service projects. From roadside cleanups to disaster relief efforts and mentoring programs to school activities, you can help make a big impact in your community.


Scholarships

Gleaner Life Insurance Society Scholarship Foundation provides scholarships to help cover the costs of tuition and living expenses for Gleaner members. All scholarships are awarded on a competitive basis. Since 1980, the Gleaner Life Insurance Society Scholarship Foundation has awarded over 2,500 scholarships totaling more than $4 million.
