About Vinea Foundation — Vinea Capital

Having Received, Let’s Give!

Since 2007, Allan Soto, Founder and CEO of Vinea Capital, has been building a business and brand to primarily help those within the special needs community. He’s served adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities through Soto ALG, and then opened ABLE Kids to serve children on the Autism spectrum with ABA therapy. He’s since gone on to open up Vinea Capital and Pineapple Ink Tavern. In all of these exciting endeavors, one thing has remained strong: community support. Firmly believing that “where much is given, much is required,” Soto wanted to find a sustainable way to give back to the community. After meeting with the Community Foundation of the CSRA, he realized that he could give beyond his regular routine. Starting this grants program was a way to get involved and hands-on by helping new non-profit organizations get off the ground, existing organizations finish projects, and overall help the people within our community who have so generously supported him. We will be awarding $100,000 annually to various non-profits and charities around the Central Savannah River Area (CSRA.) Our three key areas of focus are: individuals with special needs, generational poverty, and underserved youth. We do strive to focus on giving to organizations that service those 3 areas. We at Vinea Capital look forward to learning more about all of the good you’re doing in our community.
