Global philanthropy
Support for philanthropists wishing to get involved with projects of public interest across various continents.
Philanthropists who wish to act on several continents will find in the King Baudouin Foundation a valuable partner putting its expertise and philanthropic infrastructure at their disposal.
At European level, the Transnational Giving Europe network, coordinated by KBF, enables European donors to make donations quickly and easily across most EU countries, while enjoying many of the same fiscal advantages as giving closer to home.
At international level, the Myriad alliance for borderless giving builds on nearly 30 years of KBF operations on the ground in North America and on the long-established expertise of Give2Asia, a U.S.-based Public Charity that helps donors based across the globe to facilitate full-cycle grantmaking in China, including Taiwan and Hong Kong SAR. Through this alliance, philanthropists and donors alike benefit from more geographical options, an extensive network of not-for-profit organisations to support, and quality philanthropic services and advice.
