A quick definition of benevolent society benefits:

Benevolent society benefits are benefits given by groups that want to help others. These groups are called benevolent societies and they are not trying to make money for themselves. They are usually not taxed because they use their money to help people. This is different from groups called fraternal benefit societies, which give benefits mainly to their own members.

A more thorough explanation:

Benevolent society benefits refer to the benefits provided by non-profit organizations known as benevolent societies to their members. These societies are established with the primary objective of doing good to others rather than serving the interests of their members. For instance, literary societies aim to promote literature rather than providing educational benefits to their members.

Benevolent societies are exempt from taxation since their properties are used exclusively for charitable or benevolent purposes. In contrast, fraternal benefit societies offer benefits mainly to their members.

One example of a benevolent society is the International Order of Odd Fellows. This organization provides various benefits to its members, including financial assistance during times of need, scholarships, and educational opportunities. The Odd Fellows also engage in charitable activities such as supporting disaster relief efforts and providing aid to the less fortunate.

Another example is the Knights of Columbus, a Catholic fraternal organization that offers various benefits to its members, including life insurance, retirement benefits, and scholarships. However, the Knights of Columbus also engage in charitable activities such as supporting pro-life initiatives and providing aid to refugees.

These examples illustrate how benevolent societies provide benefits to their members while also engaging in charitable activities that benefit society as a whole.
