THE VINE

Global Impact Foundation

A Private Diplomatic & Impact Network

The Vine is a private, invitation-only global network supporting governments through diplomacy, delegation-building, and trusted international convenings. We bridge public leadership with aligned private capital and institutions in neutral, high-trust environments. Our focus is long-term partnership across humanitarian action, cultural diplomacy, and global cooperation.

🌍 11,000+ Members | 🌐 72 Countries | 🤝 Private, Relationship-Led Engagement

What We Do ?

Diplomatic Delegations & Convenings

We design private, invitation-only diplomatic delegations for governments, connecting officials, family offices, philanthropists, and cultural leaders. Each gathering is relationship-first, focused on long-term cooperation and strategic impact, never publicity or transactions.

Private Family Office Network

Our private, invitation-only family office network provides a trusted, solicitation-free space for families to build meaningful global relationships rooted in impact and cultural diplomacy. The Vine does not facilitate deal flow, capital raising, or investment pitching. Instead, we serve as a high-trust diplomatic and philanthropic network where family offices can engage with governments, cultural institutions, and humanitarian initiatives without transactional pressure. Through curated convenings, discreet introductions, and relationship-led engagement, families participate in long-term bridge-building across borders — supporting cooperation, cultural exchange, and global stability while preserving discretion, integrity, and alignment

 

Our Approach

How The Vine operates to preserve trust, align partners, and deliver sustainable impact.

    • 🔒 Private & Invitation-Only: Participation is curated to preserve trust, discretion, and alignment.

    • 🧭 Relationship-First: Long-term cooperation comes before visibility, publicity, or transactions.

    • 🌍 Cross-Sector & Global: Our network spans governments, family offices, philanthropy, NGOs, culture, and the creative economy.

    • 🤫 Chatham House Rules: All engagements are confidential unless explicitly agreed otherwise.

    • Governments, diplomats, and public institutions

    • Family offices and next-generation leaders

    • Philanthropists and foundations

    • NGOs in humanitarian, cultural, and peace-building work

    • Cultural leaders and trusted global intermediaries

    • We are not a social club

    • We are not a public forum

    • We are not a pitch network

    • We are a private operating layer for global cooperation: trust, discretion, and aligned values enable diplomacy and impact to move forward.
