Plano Women for Good
Why I joined... “I'm interested in the arts and supporting communities that spread education and inspiration. This giving circle felt like a great way to do this. I'm excited to join and see how we can support together.”
Vinny Droughton - Manager at LACMA
Why I joined... “I just moved to Los Angeles and one of the reasons was that it was a much more creative city then where I was before (SF). I’ve been a professional graphic designer for over a decade now and would love to help contribute where I can to the design and art community and to network and meet other like-minded people!”
Kelly Zerbe - Senior Designer & Art Director
Why I joined... “Supporting local organizations that help musicians and music educators sounds like a perfect way to give back to a passion that has given me so much. I love that Grapevine's model makes the time & monetary contribution commitment manageable while at the same time being impactful”
Erica Fagundes - Member since January, 2023
Why I joined... “One of my life purposes is to create and empower art. I haven't found a consistent way to keep the "empower" part firing. This seems like a wonderful potential way to do that!”
Cody Page - Composer and policymaker at TikTok
Why I joined... “Grapevine and its network of grantmakers have been instrumental in connecting our giving circle with high quality nonprofits in line with our values.”
Chris Chan - Co-founder of VocalMinority
Why I joined... “Together, we can make a difference”

Grapevine Giving Foundation
The Grapevine Giving Foundation plays a crucial role in facilitating the launch and growth of groups in the Grapevine network. In order to sustain our efforts in creating new groups, we allocate 50% of your first donation to support our nonprofit organization, the Grapevine Giving Foundation.
This approach ensures that our foundation receives crucial funding while fostering the growth and development of new groups within our network.
Your questions answered
Grapevine is a platform that provides our group with an online home that allows us to donate to a shared pool then collaborate to decide which nonprofits to give the money to. They also provide our group with free virtual event planning and hosting support, donation matching funds, and more!
At Grapevine our mission is to help grow the giving circle movement. In order to do that, we’re working to help launch giving circles in new areas and categories where they don’t exist already. That’s why we’re starting Los Angelenos for Artists. As we develop this group, we’ll identify leaders within the group and help them maintain and grow the group over time.

The time commitment is as little or as much as you’d like. In general though, most members will spend about 5 hours per year participating in the group. This includes nominating and/or just voting on selected nonprofits once per quarter, as well as attending one-hour events each quarter (four per year), some networking events, and other opportunities to connect with other group members. However, there is no requirement to participate in the events. Additionally, we’d love to work with members interested in getting more involved to help lead and grow the group, which would require a few additional hours per quarter or year, depending upon your capacity.
We don’t charge any membership fees, but our payment processor charges a nonprofit discounted credit card fee of 2.2% + 30¢ per donation (3.5% for AmEx). If you’d like, you can leave an optional amount on top of your donation that supports Grapevine’s work.
Anyone who identifies as local supporter of the arts is eligible to join. This can be for any business type, industry, position, or level. All are welcome!
We’ll reach out to you about the status of your membership within one week. If your membership is approved, we’ll send you the information for joining the group and adding your donation.
Bring about real, lasting change
Be a leader who makes a difference in the world!
Imagine connecting with a community of local supporters of the arts community to give back tens of thousands of dollars to local nonprofits each year. It’s a sustained effort that ensures you're doing what you can for your community and the causes you care about most - not just a one-time thing. And you get to do it all by meeting and collaborating with other awesome women across the country.
