Plano Women for Good
Why I joined... “I'm proud to work with an organization (Dance Lab New York) that has consistently lived up to and beyond its DEI commitments (before everyone added DEI statements to their websites!). I am curious to learn about other organizations who share in a similar mission/vision. Additionally, I'm interested in connecting with the opportunity in mind of expanding my freelance client roster and taking on more storytelling projects.”
Claire Buffie Adkisson - Producer & Creative Director for the arts
Why I joined... “I am always open to any opportunity to serve and to lift girls and women and to be able to do that in the area of art and support other artists, being one myself, is a huge honour.”
Jasmine Tolulope Idiakhoa - A changemaker impacting the lives of artists
Why I joined... “I found success in my business after many informative experiences and would love to share what I have learned while making a direct impact on those who need it most.”
Amanda Shine - Entrepreneur working for equality
Why I joined... “I love facilitating this fledgling giving circle! There is so much potential for collective action in our community and it’s so rewarding to see the difference we are making together.”
Caitlin King Khoury - Phoenix Collective Giving Circle
Why I joined... “It was impressive to raise $2,000. But now I’ve raised over $20,000, from over 100 people, and it’s still growing. That’s something pretty amazing to me.”
Bridget Conway-Taylor - Black Trans Lives Thrive
Why I joined... “There’s such a good feeling at the end of the meeting, a feeling like ‘We did this for our community tonight.’ It’s such a warm feeling. And it’s even better the bigger the group is.”

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 NYC Artists for Gender and Racial Equality. 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 NYC artist 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 artists to give back tens of thousands of dollars to nonprofits advocating for gender equality. 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.
