Daughters of the British Empire
The Daughters of the British Empire (DBE) is a charitable, non-profit, non-political, non-sectarian, voluntary American society of women of British or Commonwealth birth, ancestry, naturalization, or marriage. Its members are professionals, businesswomen, and homemakers with common interests and heritage, who meet regularly for business and other events with the common cause of philanthropy. The society was founded in the United States on March 15, 1909, as the Imperial Order, Daughters of the Empire in the U.S.A., and became the National Society of Daughters of the British Empire in the U.S.A. in 1920. The National Society is incorporated in the State of Delaware.
The Society is affiliated with the Imperial Order Daughters of the Empire in Canada (I.O.D.E.); the Victoria League in London, England; and the General Federation of Women’s Clubs in the United States.
The Honorary President of the DBE is the British Ambassador to the U.S. or the Ambassador's wife.
For over 100 years, The Daughters of the British Empire in the U.S.A. has been a common bond for women of British heritage living in America. Members, joining together in fellowship, contribute significantly to the good of their local communities and support the four retirement homes for men and women established by the DBE.
Are you proud of your British or British Commonwealth birth or heritage?
Would you like to meet and spend time with other women that share your ancestry?
The Daughters of the British Empire is an organization that provides its members with friendship and fun with other women while raising funds for worthwhile charities.
Membership is open to US residents, women age 13 or older, who are people from Britain, or the Commonwealth of Nations, through birth, ancestry, naturalization as subjects, citizens, or are spouses/partners of such persons.
The three membership classifications (Regular Member, Member-at-Large, Junior Member (13 to 17 Year-Old)), have differing rights to vote and to hold office.
