The Hughes Grant

Baking for a Bigger Purpose

At Nana’s Baking Company, every cookie carries more than flavor—it carries the love of a grandmother who believed care could be baked into every bite. The Hughes Grant honors that legacy.

Named in memory of Gary Hughes, Nana’s eldest son, who lived with disabilities and was cared for at home with deep devotion, the grant brings Nana’s spirit of generosity to life. She spent her days cooking and baking for Gary—because food was her love language. She didn’t just feed him; she made him feel seen, cherished, and included.

Today, we carry that love forward.

More About The Hughes Grant​

What Is The Hughes Grant?

The Hughes Grant funds accessible field trips for adults with disabilities, giving them the opportunity to explore the world with joy, dignity, and support. From cultural outings and nature excursions to educational day trips and overnight getaways, these experiences are designed to foster connection, enrichment, and inclusion.

We remove the financial and logistical barriers—so they can simply enjoy the adventure.

Trips include:

  • Fully covered transportation

  • Entry fees and accommodations

  • Meals and trained support staff

  • Thoughtfully planned itineraries for all ability levels

How It Works

When you buy from Nana’s Baking Company—whether it’s a Taste & Bake Kit, a single cookie, or a bundle pack—5% of our net profit goes directly to The Hughes Grant.

That means your sweet purchase helps someone experience:

  • Their first museum visit

  • A peaceful nature walk

  • A joyful group getaway

  • Or simply, a day where they feel seen and celebrated

Why It Matters

Adults with disabilities are often overlooked when it comes to accessible travel and recreation. The Hughes Grant ensures they’re not left behind. It gives them opportunities to grow, connect, and feel the same joy Nana gave Gary every day of his life.

This isn’t just a grant. It’s a promise. A way for all of us to bake for something bigger.
