Adria Dunn

Meet the Founder

Adria L. Dunn is the founder of The Vine Global Impact Foundation, an international community built on a simple belief: The world is changed not by what we keep, but by what we give—our time, our treasure, our talents, and our trust.

After more than two decades in international finance, Adria chose to leave banking to dedicate her life to building something she believed the world needed more, a global community rooted not in transactions, but in generosity, trust, and meaningful connection.

Through private gatherings, thoughtful introductions, philanthropic initiatives, and collaborative projects, The Vine seeks to build bridges across cultures, industries, and generations, proving that when people choose generosity over self-interest, hope becomes contagious.

She is the author of The Vine: Messages of Hope from Around the World, a #1 international bestseller featuring contributions from His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Dr. Jane Goodall, Sylvia Earle, Ambassador Andrew Young, Djimon Hounsou, and other global visionaries.

She is also a writer, singer, and lifelong equestrian, Adria describes herself as “charity agnostic,” dedicated to creating a world where empathy, culture, and innovation guide international cooperation.

“Civilizations endure because people choose to serve something greater than themselves."
