A LEGACY OF BELONGING
When generations find each other, something remarkable happens.
The most digitally connected generation in history is also experiencing profound loneliness. At the same time, older adults who carry decades of wisdom, history, and lived experience are becoming increasingly separated from the communities they helped shape.
Nana’s Tribe brings generations together through meaningful conversation, shared experiences, and service—reducing isolation, challenging age-based assumptions, and creating the kind of belonging that happens when we truly know one another.
Every generation holds something the other needs.
This Began Long Before Today.
Nana’s Tribe was born in 2018, the year after we lost the woman whose name it carries. Since then, it has filled banquet rooms with chefs and laughter, put an Impact Award in the hands of people doing quiet good, and stood beside a family as they rebuilt. It is a story of showing up, and it keeps growing.
She believed we should treat each other like family.
Nana believed that when we treat each other like family, love and purpose become something we live, not just something we say. She lived that belief for 105 years. We are here to carry it forward.
What We Carry Forward
Guided by Nana’s belief that we should treat each other like family.
OUR MISSION
Nana’s Tribe Foundation brings people together through service, literacy, family support, and community care — carrying forward Nana’s belief that we should treat each other like family.
OUR VISION
We imagine a community where people do not have to face hardship alone, where generations stay connected, and where quiet acts of care become part of everyday life.
