Rooted in Purpose,
Built for Growth

A Grapevine Coalition (AGC) is a private nonprofit Entrepreneurial Support Organization (ESO) dedicated to building high-performing business networks across the Southeastern region. Established to develop a unifying network of community resources, our goal as partners is to share information, plan, and organize to meet common economic needs and opportunities within local business districts — building on and strengthening a viable platform rooted in the concept and practice of community development.

Through strategic partnerships spanning multiple industries, we provide entrepreneurs and business owners with access to essential resources, marketing, advertising, management, and media services. We cooperatively invest and participate in community fundraising opportunities designed to build more positive, constructive, and creative pathways that strengthen our local economy.

We are actively working to build solidarity economy initiatives with organizations and businesses throughout the community — offering workshops that equip individuals with knowledge across all aspects of business and entrepreneurship, while fostering new relationships that support their personal and professional endeavors.

"We empower those we serve to invest in their professional development while contributing their time, talent, and capital toward building thriving, globally connected businesses and communities."

AGC operates under Our Pipeline Incorporated as a 501(c)(6) trade and professional association.
