Having received, let's give.

A grants program by Vinea Foundation, in partnership with the Community Foundation for the CSRA — supporting nonprofits focused on special needs, generational poverty, and underserved youth.

OUR MISSION

Having Received, Let's Give.

Since 2007, Allan Soto, Founder and CEO of Vinea Capital, has dedicated his work to serving the special needs community. Through Soto ALG, he’s supported adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, and with ABLE Kids, he’s provided ABA therapy for children on the Autism spectrum. He later expanded his ventures to include Vinea Capital and Pineapple Ink Tavern, each rooted in strong community support.

Guided by the belief that “where much is given, much is required,” Soto partnered with the Community Foundation of the CSRA to create a sustainable way to give back. The new grants program will award $100,000 annually to nonprofits across the CSRA focused on individuals with special needs, generational poverty, and underserved youth. Vinea Capital looks forward to supporting and learning from the organizations making a difference in our community.

"Where much is given, much is required."

Guided by that belief, Soto partnered with the Community Foundation for the CSRA to build a sustainable way to give back — the Vinea Foundation.
