Memberships

Choose the best option for you. 

Community Granges offer a variety of memberships. You can discover what each offers, and select the one that fits your needs.

Each Community Grange sets its own price for membership, and some membership types, such as Lifetime, may not be offered by some Granges. Please check with the Grange you wish to join for details.

Membership in a Community Grange automatically makes you a member of the Oregon State Grange. There is no application to join to the Oregon State Grange.

 Why Join?

Anyone 14 years or older who wants to network within the local
community, participate in service projects, vote at Grange meetings to influence Grange policy, and develop personal leadership skills is welcome to join the Grange. Grange Insurance has not been a membership benefit for many years, but the National Grange offers a long list of membership benefits and some Community Granges provide additional member benefits. But most who join the Grange do so because of a   desire to improve their community, build stronger bonds with community members and to have fun.

How to Join

  • Find a member who will sponsor your application. Come to a meeting or event and introduce yourself. Once members know who you are and why you are interested in becoming a member, it should be easy to find a sponsor.
  • Print the membership brochure
  • Fill out the application on the back
  • If you don’t know the closest grange to you, use Find A Grange, click the county you live in and check the address of the Granges. If you can not find a nearby Grange, contact the State Office for more options.
  • Give the application fee and dues through the end of the current calendar year to a Grange Member. Each Grange sets its own dues amount.
  • Membership applications are typically voted on in the next meeting, and the local Grange will inform you of the decision.
