Get Involved
Grandfamilies Alliance is at a critical founding moment. We are seeking partners who believe that keeping children with family is worth investing in — and who want to be part of building the national proof of concept.
Ways to Partner With Us
💰 Seed Funding
Support the launch of our two pilot programs in the Bronx and East Bay. Early philanthropic investment enables us to build evidence, demonstrate impact, and attract public funding.
🎯 Board Leadership
We are building a founding board with expertise in housing, child welfare, aging policy, nonprofit finance, and philanthropy. Board members help shape strategy and open doors.
🤝 Strategic Partnerships
We partner with government agencies, community organizations, housing developers, and anchor institutions who share our commitment to grandfamily wellbeing.

The children in these families deserve the same stability as any child in foster care — and the grandparents raising them deserve recognition, resources, and a genuine partnership with the systems they are already holding up.
