Vine & Fig Tree Institute functions as the apex domestic capital aggregation clearinghouse in the sovereign matching network. With zero employees and $3,001,041 in FY24 revenue, it operates as a pass-through entity that receives DAF contributions—typically anonymized through DonorsTrust and similar vehicles—and forwards them to Voices of Israel Ltd. (Concert), where the Israeli Ministry of Diaspora Affairs matches them dollar-for-dollar. Officers include Michael Davis (President), Weston Edwards (Secretary), and Ari Gontownik (Treasurer, also affiliated with Harspring Capital). The zero-employee structure is consistent with the Glazer Framework's design principle of structural minimalism to avoid creating transmissible paper trails.
