How Nan Made
Helps You.
A Proper Beginning
Every Nan Gets
Her First Month Free.
A whole month to name your shop, photograph your first bakes, sort your food-handling certificate and decide what you want to be known for. No rush, no fee, and no pressure to be ready before you are.
Pay It Forward
Customers can tick $2, $5 or $10 at checkout toward your monthly platform fee. One order covers it, and every dollar goes directly to you.
Micro Grants
Small, practical boosts to get your baking business off the ground — a gift card for your first ingredients, or equipment through The Kitchen Fund. Yours to keep.

We’re building a sweet revolution that puts money into the hands of women and changes the financial story for women across Australia.

From ‘Older Women’
To Women Of Wisdom.
Society thinks women over 50 are on the way out. Have we got news for them.
We are the vital, electric pulse of our communities. We have experience, creativity, skill, humour, resilience and a lifetime of knowing how to make something beautiful from what is in front of us.
We are the Women of Wisdom — the generation that’s going to change it all, with batter on our hands and joy that refuses to back down.
Why We Built This
We’re Baking A New
Story For Women.
Women over 50 are ageing into poverty in this country. More than three in four single women renting in retirement are living below the poverty line. These are not strangers. They are us — our friends, our sisters, the woman three doors down, and very often the woman reading this.
Nan Made was built because a woman with fifty years of skill in her hands should not be choosing between her medication and her power bill.
We are the generation who can change this. Not for a few of us. For every woman in Australia, and every girl coming up behind us.
