Who We Are
A Grapevine Coalition (AGC) is a private nonprofit Entrepreneurial Support Organization (ESO) anchored in the Southeast — building a high-performing coalition rooted in cultural solidarity and shared purpose. Our goal is to establish and develop a unifying, culturally-minded space of shared resources where people come together to plan, organize, and respond to common needs within their local districts.
Through strategic alliances spanning multiple industries, we connect founders and operators with essential tools — including marketing, advertising, management, and media services. We cooperatively invest in fundraising efforts designed to create more positive, constructive pathways that strengthen the local economy and the people within it.
We are actively advancing solidarity economy initiatives with organizations throughout the area — hosting workshops that equip individuals with knowledge across all facets of enterprise, while cultivating new relationships that support both personal ambitions and collective advancement.
AGC operates under Our Pipeline Incorporated as a 501(c)(6) trade and professional association.
What We Do
"The Coalition exists to cultivate a dynamic web of alliances where founders, enterprises, and civic partners come together — strengthening ties, advancing shared prosperity, and expanding opportunity both locally and globally."
