Myriad Alliance Expands with New Members Serving Private Philanthropy in Singapore and United Kingdom
Myriad Alliance, the global network for borderless philanthropy of which the King Baudouin Foundation/Myriad Europe is a founding member, is pleased to welcome two new member organisations: Temasek Trust 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 offering expert facilitation for philanthropy.
As the newest members of the Myriad Alliance, TTFA and Prism further improve the global footprint of the Alliance to enable private giving from individuals, families and corporate donors across borders to organisations, 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 King Baudouin Foundation/Myriad Europe, Myriad USA, Myriad Canada, Myriad Australia, The Gift Trust of New Zealand, Give2Asia US, Give2Asia Foundation in Hong Kong SAR. 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: “Temasek Trust Foundation Advisors 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.”
CEO of the King Baudouin Foundation/Myriad Europe, Brieuc Van Damme, says: “In a world marked by successive crises — whether climate-related, health, geopolitical or social — cross-border philanthropy stands out as an agile and complementary response. The expansion of Myriad Alliance strengthens our collective ability to mobilise private resources where they are most needed, beyond borders and silos. It is a concrete demonstration of what international cooperation can achieve in service of the common good.”
