Nan Made exists to build long-term financial security for women.
We start with our Nans because they are the most at risk. And what begins with them reaches every girl and woman coming behind them.

A Little More Help
Pay It
Forward.
At checkout you can tick $2, $5 or $10 toward a Nan’s monthly platform fee.
One order covers it. Everything she sells after that is entirely hers.
She Is The Woman On Your Street
Right now, Nans are making choices no one should have to make: medication or the power bill; a birthday gift for a grandchild or enough food for the week. When you order through Nan Made, your cake does more than feed the people you love. It gives a Nan money she can use to celebrate her own family, pay her bills, and keep a little in the kitty that's just for her.
Your Order Is Her Piece Of the Pie
Nan Made helps you get to know the woman on your street, the woman around the corner who makes the most incredible scones. You might walk past her house every day—walking your dog, on your morning jog, heading to the station. Now you’ll know her name. You’ll know what she bakes. You’ll know that every order you place helps keep her bills paid and her hope alive.This feeds your soul as well as tantalise your taste buds. Nan Made is a way back to humanity at its best.
These Aren’t Just Figures.
These Are Women’s Lives.
Across Australia, women over 50 are among the fastest-growing groups experiencing homelessness and housing insecurity. These are women with talent, history, families, bills to pay — and far too few pathways back to secure, independent income.
Made With Love
We’re Making
Moments Matter Again.
A gift with love baked right into it. There is nothing better. There has never been anything better.
We Need
Your Help.
We are so excited to launch this delicious new initiative, but we cannot do this alone.
Everybody needs a ‘Nan’. Birthdays and Christmases, Mother’s Day and Father’s Day. An anniversary, an engagement, a wedding. Baby showers and graduations, morning tea at work, and the Sunday nobody felt like cooking.
And just because — which may be the loveliest reason of all.
So please share it with everyone you know. And please think of the women you know who were born to be a ‘Nan’ — your mum, your aunt, your grandma, your friend’s grandma, your neighbour three doors down.
She has been waiting her whole life for Nan Made.

Where The 20% Goes
A Minimum Of 20%
Reinvested In Our Nans.
- Micro grants — a helping hand to get started. A supermarket voucher for her first ingredients, so the first bake costs her nothing.
- The Baking Equipment Library — a hand mixer, proper tins, oven gloves, mixing bowls and cake stands, for the women who need them.
- Photography — regular professional sessions, so her baking looks as good as it tastes.
