MYRIAD

It is in this spirit that we have created the Myriad alliance for borderless giving. This builds on nearly 30 years of the Foundation operations on the ground in North America and on the long-established expertise of Give2Asia, a U.S. philanthropic foundation with branches in Hong Kong SAR and Australia. Our objective is to facilitate and encourage cross-border philanthropy worldwide.

Thanks to Myriad, donors (private individuals, businesses and organisations) across four continents can support good causes in almost 100 countries, benefitting from:

• high quality philanthropy services and advice;
• numerous geographical options for making donations;
• an extensive network of not-for-profit organisations and beneficiaries to support;
• administrative and fiscal facilities.

The Myriad alliance is anchored in, and strengthens, existing collaboration between several international philanthropy structures:

• the King Baudouin Foundation (also known as Myriad Europe), establishes links between donors and projects supported in Belgium, Europe, Africa and Latin America. The King Baudouin Foundation is also one of the leading founding partners of the Transnational Giving Europe network;
• Myriad USA (formerly KBFUS), draws on over two decades of experience in offering advice and made-to-measure solutions for US donors wishing to support good causes abroad, in the Asia-Pacific region, Europe, Africa, and Latin America. In addition to the fiscal facilities it permits, our partner is reputed for its in-depth knowledge of local legislation regarding international donations and the not-for-profit sector in Europe and Africa. Myriad USA also works with universities, museums, and other not-for-profit European and African institutions that wish to raise funds in the United States.
• Myriad CANADA, supports philanthropists – private individuals, families, businesses and foundations – that wish to support good causes throughout the world. Founded in 2017, this philanthropic organisation registered in Canada develops personalized solutions that take account of each donor’s particular wishes. Thanks to Myriad CANADA, donors can fulfil their philanthropic ambitions via international projects conducted throughout the world and can benefit from Myriad CANADA’s knowledge of Canadian legislation and fiscal advantages.
• Myriad Australia, an international nonprofit based in Melbourne that serves as a strategic partner and ally for philanthropy. Myriad Australia offers a suite of services for Australian individuals, corporates, and not-for-profits.
• Give2Asia, a U.S.-based Public Charity that helps donors based across the globe to facilitate full-cycle grantmaking in China. Give2Asia’s deep local knowledge, 20 years of experience, and specialised local offices offer individuals, corporations, and associations guidance and facilities to achieve their philanthropic goals.
