THE VINE

Global Impact Foundation

A Private Fellowship for Cultural Diplomacy & Collective Action

The Vine is a private social impact network that unites family offices, governments, nonprofits and creatives. We foster trust-based relationships that lead to collaboration across borders, sectors, and cultures.

Our guiding ethos is simple:
Human connection is the foundation of global cooperation.
When trust is present, solutions become possible.

What We Do ?

The Vine functions as an impact network, a trusted environment where meaningful relationships evolve into coordinated action.

Members convene on:

  • Humanitarian & disaster relief support

  • Cultural diplomacy and heritage preservation

  • Youth empowerment, education, and creative development

  • Cross-border philanthropic initiatives


We do not serve a single cause.
We strengthen the people who serve causes.

Family Offices

The Vine brings together private families who steward resources across generations. These are families who see wealth not just as capital, but as responsibility, an opportunity to build a more meaningful future.

Government & Diplomacy

We welcome leaders who work across ministries, diplomacy, public policy, and cultural development—those who value dialogue, cooperation, and long-term vision.

NGOs & Foundations

Our NGO partners provide grounded expertise and community insight, ensuring that our work translates into real-world outcomes and local impact.

Cultural Creators

Artists, filmmakers, musicians, architects, authors, and visionary storytellers play a central role. They shape identity. They preserve meaning. They spark imagination.
Creativity is diplomacy.

 

Our Story

The Vine began on March 1st, 2020, as a small circle supporting humanitarian causes.
When the pandemic struck one month later, the network expanded globally, connecting people seeking purpose, meaning, and solidarity in a time of uncertainty.

Founded by Adria L. Dunn, The Vine has grown into a private network of over 11,000 vetted members across 70+ countries.
Together, our members have raised millions for charitable causes, mobilized emergency support during crises, and built bridges across cultural, political, and geographic divides.

This is not simply a network.
It is a global fellowship bound by shared purpose.
