Celebrating the Grand Journey: Where Tradition Meets Tomorrow

At GRAND Magazine, we honor the wisdom of grandparents while empowering them to forge meaningful connections across generations in today’s rapidly changing world.

About GRAND Magazine

Since 2004, GRAND Magazine has transformed how society views and values grandparenting. Founded by Christine Crosby—herself a passionate grandmother and great-grandmother—our mission has remained constant: to celebrate the joys and address the challenges of being a grandparent in today’s tech-savvy world.  

Becoming a grandparent is life-changing. It opens a new chapter filled with profound love, purpose, and sometimes unexpected challenges. At GRAND, we understand that grandparents are multifaceted individuals with diverse interests and needs—you’re not “just” grandparents, but vibrant, engaged people navigating this rewarding stage of life.

Why GRAND Matters

GRAND serves as a vital resource in a world where grandparents play increasingly crucial roles: 

Preserving Family Legacy: We help grandparents transmit values, traditions, and wisdom to future generations
Supporting Caregivers: Over seven million American children are being raised by grandparents—we provide essential guidance and community for these kinship caregivers
Healing Divided Families: We offer expert help for alienated grandparents seeking to restore relationships
Championing Positive Aging: We’re catalyzing a long-overdue paradigm shift in how society views growing older
Building Bridges: In an era of digital natives and rapid change, we help grandparents connect meaningfully across generational divides

What We Offer

Our continually updated content covers everything that matters to today’s active grandparents: positive aging, healthy lifestyles, connecting generations, grandparents’ rights, long-distance grandparenting, multi-generational travel, family finances, and creative ways to engage with grandchildren.

Our Core Values

Wisdom: Honoring experience while embracing new perspectives
Connection: Strengthening the unique bond between generations
Inclusivity: Celebrating grandparents from all backgrounds and family structures
Adaptability: Supporting grandparents as they navigate changing family dynamics
