A quick definition of fraternal benefit association:

A Fraternal Benefit Association is a group of people who come together to help each other out. They have a common interest or goal and work together to achieve it. These associations have a system of lodges, a governing body, and rituals. They also provide benefits to their members. They are not created for profit, but to help their members. They are also known as fraternal benefit societies, fraternities, or fraternal orders.

A more thorough explanation:

A fraternal benefit association is a voluntary organization or society that is created for the mutual aid and benefit of its members. It is not created for profit, and its members share a common cause, objective, or interest. These associations usually have a lodge system, a governing body, rituals, and a benefits system for their members.

For example, the Knights of Columbus is a fraternal benefit association that was founded in 1882. It is a Catholic organization that provides financial assistance to its members and their families. The organization also promotes charitable works and community service.

Another example is the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, which was founded in 1819. It is a fraternal organization that provides financial assistance to its members and their families. The organization also promotes charitable works and community service.

These examples illustrate how fraternal benefit associations are created to provide mutual aid and benefit to their members, and how they often have a focus on charitable works and community service.
