From the start, we’ve gathered groups working across generations and geographies—each bringing their own wisdom, approaches, and deep community ties. What unites us is a shared commitment to uplifting grandmother leadership, building community resilience, and creating space for learning, collaboration, and collective action. 

Join Our Collaborative Network

The power of our movement lies in connection.

From the beginning, The Grandmother Collective has brought mission-aligned organizations together to build a shared vision—one where older women lead, collaborate, and shape a more just and connected future. Our network is how we amplify that vision into action.

We learn from each other, share tools and stories, and grow stronger as a collective. If your organization shares our belief in the value and leadership of grandmothers and older women, we invite you to join us.

Who Can Join

We welcome nonprofit and nonprofit-focused organizations whose work aligns with our mission.
You do not need to identify as a “grandmother-led” organization—many of our partners work across generations or in broader community-building spaces. What matters is a demonstrated commitment to engaging older women as agents of change in your programs, communities, or campaigns.

Are you an individual or professional in the field? Join through our individual membership here.
