About Vine Fund
The Vine fund is offering grants of between $500 – $1,000 to social impact organizations in Ghana and Nigeria as a way of giving back to society.
In 2020, the world experienced the devastating impact of COVID-19, which led to nationwide lockdowns and government restrictions. In Ghana and Nigeria, small charities and social enterprises were hit very hard. That’s why Vine Fund is supporting organizations that help communities in these countries.

Helping you work with communities that are recovering
- This might be work-related to supporting communities that have been hard hit by COVID-19, for example, supporting people to get back to work, helping marginalized children catch up with education, supporting families who have been bereaved, and providing services for people affected by long COVID, etc.
