What National Grange does

The National Grange, formally the National Grange of the Order of Patrons of Husbandry, is a nonprofit fraternal organization founded in 1867 and headquartered at 1616 H St. NW, Suite 300, Washington, DC. It operates as the nation's oldest rural advocacy and service organization, structured across four hierarchical levels — Community, County/District, State, and National — with membership flowing upward through a grassroots decision-making model. Full membership is open to individuals age 14 and older; the Junior Grange serves children ages 5-14, and the Grange Youth program develops leadership among young adults. Women have been equal members since inception, and the family is the base unit of the organization.

The organization's core technology is Grange Engage, an online member engagement hub hosted at members.nationalgrange.org that provides membership management, event registration, communication preferences, forum activity, and a Find-a-Grange locator. Additional products include Good Day! Magazine (the official publication), the bi-weekly Grange Today Newsletter, and the Grange Hall Podcast. Programmatic offerings include the Rural Life Initiative grant program, the 2025 Rural Health Report, and affiliated entities Grange Advocacy (a 501(c)(4)) and the Grange Foundation (a 501(c)(3)).

Revenue is generated through five streams: membership dues (Individual, Associate, Junior, Youth tiers — annual, undisclosed pricing), commercial trademark licensing of the GRANGE mark to businesses such as daycare centers, museums, housing developments, and restaurants, affiliate referral commissions from approximately 13 member-benefit partners (Office Depot, UPS, AFLAC, Nationwide Pet Insurance, Harvest Hosts, Comfort Keepers, etc.), annual convention and regional event registration fees, and publication subscriptions. The organization is privately held as a nonprofit, with no parent company, no venture funding, and no public ticker. Membership ownership and governance rest with elected delegates at annual conventions.
