Connections Beyond Sundays
Who Are We
DONYAE is a social club for faith-based entrepreneurs, creators, and innovators. We exist to provide a home for our members to connect, collaborate, and belong while growing personally, professionally, and creatively.
Founded in 2024 by Arion Johnson and Mathew East, DONYAE was created to address a gap many faith-based professionals experience: the desire to build meaningful community outside of Sunday services. Our goal is to empower members to cultivate their gifts, strengthen their businesses, and make a lasting impact while rooted in faith and intentional community.
We host curated events and experiences designed to support growth, creativity, and connection. From professional networking and wellness gatherings to creative workshops, co-working pop-ups, cultural experiences, and service projects, our members have access to opportunities that foster collaboration and personal development.
Members also enjoy exclusive perks, including access to a private directory, guest privileges, press and media opportunities, and partnered venue access. Membership is selective to ensure a high-quality, intentional community where faith, creativity, and entrepreneurship thrive.At DONYAE, we believe in the power of seed planters—those who innovate, inspire, and build the future. Our community is a space where ideas grow, connections flourish, and every member can leave a meaningful impact on the world.MEET THE FOUNDERS
