Why Gleaner

Why families across Texas trust Gleaner.

We don't sell insurance — we design protection plans, then stay with you as your family grows.

01

One advisor, every step

From your first quote to filing a claim, the same licensed Gleaner advisor stays with you — no call-center handoffs.

02

Owned by our members

Online or in person

Claims help, every time

When the moment comes, your advisor walks the family through the paperwork — so they can focus on each other, not forms.

Member Stories

What our members tell us.

"We came in right after our daughter was born. Our Gleaner advisor put together a term life policy and a juvenile plan together, and the monthly cost was lower than we expected. We can actually relax now."
The Alvarez Family Austin, TX · New Parents
"I had three different life policies from different companies and no idea what I actually had. Gleaner walked through all of them, consolidated where it made sense, and saved us almost $1,200 a year."
Marcus W. Round Rock, TX · 40s · Engineer
"When my husband passed, our advisor handled almost every form. The claim was paid in under two weeks and I never once felt alone in the process. That is what they promised, and it's what they delivered."
Linda S. San Marcos, TX · Retired

How It Works

Working with us is straightforward.

  1. STEP 01

    Reach out

    Use the form, email us, or call our Austin office. Initial consultations are always free and never high-pressure.

  2. STEP 02

    Listen first

    We learn about your family, finances, and goals — then identify what protection you truly need (and what you don't).

  3. STEP 03

    Side-by-side plans

    You'll see 2–3 plans laid out clearly, with monthly cost, coverage, and tradeoffs — no fine-print surprises.

  4. STEP 04

    Ongoing support

    We check in annually and any time your life changes — new baby, new home, new job — to make sure your coverage still fits.

Community & Fraternal Outreach

Member Matching Grants

Raise money for a local cause and Gleaner matches a portion — over $180,000 distributed across Austin nonprofits last year.

02

Scholarships for Members' Kids

Annual scholarships for college-bound children of policyholders, awarded each May at our Austin headquarters.

Volunteer Days

Quarterly group volunteer events with Austin Food Bank, Meals on Wheels, and Habitat for Humanity — open to members and families.

A dedicated fund supporting Texas members affected by hurricanes, ice storms, and wildfires — fast disbursements, no paperwork delays.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions, before you reach out.

Is the consultation really free?

Yes — consultations and quotes are always free, with no obligation. We're compensated through the carriers when a policy is issued, so you never pay us directly for advice.

Can we meet virtually?

Absolutely. We meet members across Texas (and our other licensed states) by Zoom, Google Meet, or phone. We'll mail or email materials in advance so you're never caught off guard.

Can you review my existing policies?

Yes — bring or upload your current policies and we'll lay them out side by side, point out gaps or overlaps, and only recommend changes if they genuinely help your situation. A review-only consultation is fine.

Will I be pressured into buying?

No. Our entire philosophy is "decide when you're ready." If our plans don't fit, we'll say so, and we won't keep contacting you unless you ask us to.

What if I have a pre-existing condition?

We work with carriers that offer simplified-issue, guaranteed-issue, and modified plans designed for people with health concerns. There are almost always options — let's talk through yours.

Which states do you serve?

We're licensed across Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, and New Mexico, with our headquarters in Austin. Members elsewhere may still be served through our national fraternal network.
