Support the Grandmothers' Mission

“My church is the earth and the sky. And I pray for all in between the sky and the earth.
We are all part of the fabric.”

We are continually asked by people who attend our gatherings and see our film, "What can we do to help?"

For those of you who are seeking a way to help yourselves, your community and the planet, we offer the following suggestions and pray that one of them resonates with you to help us further our mission of peace and unity. 

 

Donate to the Grandmothers Council

The Grandmothers would especially welcome support for their lives at home, which are often challenged by lack of access to basic comforts as well as modern services and technologies.  The hope is to create a flow of abundance that supports a monthly stipend for each of us and a local assistant to help fulfill our mission.

Support the Flow Fund Projects

The seeds of the Grandmothers’ Corn Garden were planted by the Flow Fund, founded by Marion Rockefeller Weber. The Flow Fund gave $300,000 to the Grandmothers Council, to flow to organizations of their choice. We refer to our family of projects as our "Corn Garden" - we hope to grow support for every project area.

The Flow Fund project areas help us to take care of our children; our elders; our ways of prayer; our cultural heritage; and our traditional medicines; and to heal generational trauma.

We invite you to continue the flow by donating to one of the project areas.  As funds are received the corn stalk in that project area will grow taller!

Join our amazing league of volunteers to assist in our work. We need volunteers at our events and for ongoing support for our staff and our projects.  We believe that many hands make light work…

Partner with the Center for Sacred Studies

Our Council came together through a common vision seeded by the Center for Sacred Studies (CSS). They facilitate our council activities and act as our fiscal sponsor, as well as offering programs designed to heal trauma and wounds that divide peoples.  CSS schools and programs endeavor to shift attitudes towards the sacredness of all things and beings on earth.
