Today, Myriad Alliance—the global network for borderless philanthropy—is pleased to welcome two new member organisations: TT Foundation Advisors (TTFA), a Singapore-based philanthropy advisory and management services arm of Temasek; and Prism the Gift Fund (Prism), a UK-based charity that supports the flow of funds into the charitable sector by creating efficiencies and offering expert facilitation for philanthropy.
As the newest members of the Myriad Alliance, TTFA and Prism enhance governing expertise of the network and further improve its global footprint to enable private giving across borders to communities and causes around the world.
They join the other existing members of the Myriad Alliance for philanthropy services now in 8 markets, including The Gift Trust of New Zealand, Give2Asia US, Give2Asia Foundation in Hong Kong SAR, the King Baudouin Foundation/Myriad Europe, Myriad Australia, Myriad Canada, and Myriad USA. In 2024, the members of the Myriad Alliance collectively made US$245.6 million in grants to support charitable programs in 125 countries, spanning a wide range of causes including education, the arts, disaster response, health services, climate change, and more.
Head of TTFA, Dickson Lim, says: “TTFA is committed to making philanthropic giving easier, safer and more strategic for donors giving across borders. By leveraging the regional and global expertise of our partners in the Myriad Alliance – and the network of the Temasek Trust ecosystem and beyond – we are contributing to trusted platforms to better serve philanthropists in Singapore and Asia, and to drive greater good globally.”
CEO and Co-Founder of Prism, Anna Josse, says: “With multiple wars raging, political instability upending the markets, and the effects of climate change being acutely felt, the need for private philanthropy to fill the gap remains vital. One outcome of the world’s challenges is the movement of the wealthy, who are migrating more than ever before. From day one, our mission at Prism the Gift Fund has been to make giving as simple and effective as possible.”
CEO of Myriad Alliance, Birger Stamperdahl, says: “Cross-border giving is a growing movement globally as philanthropists seek to make the greatest impact possible in communities they care about … wherever they may be. At a time when private giving is being called on to do more and to help global issues forward, we welcome Temasek Trust Foundation Advisors and Prism the Gift Fund. By increasing the cooperation of Donor Advised Funds around the world, we are helping to meet shifting … and in many cases, increasing … needs.”
In an era of burgeoning global connections, the drive for philanthropy increasingly transcends borders. In response, the members of the Myriad Alliance are deepening their cooperation and expanding membership to streamline and enhance cross-border giving.
The Myriad Alliance, a global network of organizations that each provide cross-border grantmaking services to donors, is announcing specific steps to expand reach and membership, and to strengthen the global capabilities of each member. In 2023 alone, the Myriad Alliance collectively granted over US$340 million to charitable programs in 113 countries and across a wide variety of topics, including education, the arts, disaster response, health services, climate change, and much more.
Today, Alliance members are announcing the following steps to develop the network:
The Myriad Alliance’s steering committee is appointing Birger Stamperdahl to serve as the Alliance CEO, in addition to his role as President & CEO of Give2Asia. In his Alliance role, Stamperdahl will seek new members and build collaborations within the network.
“Corporations, family offices, wealth managers, charitable organizations, and individuals have relied on our members over the years for advice, implementation, and operational management. We help them to turn goodwill into positive impact for people and places around the world,” said Birger Stamperdahl, CEO of the Myriad Alliance. “By strengthening the Alliance, we are substantially expanding our collective capacity to identify opportunities for cross-border collaborations and for our members to provide the most efficient services for grant-making.”
