Myriad Alliance, the global network enabling borderless philanthropy, is pleased to announce that Swiss Philanthropy Foundation will join the Alliance in May 2026 as a Partner, with the possibility of becoming a full governing Member within the next two years.
Swiss Philanthropy Foundation, a Geneva‑based umbrella foundation supporting private and institutional donors in achieving effective and responsible giving, brings deep expertise in structured philanthropy and cross-border grantmaking. Its addition as a Partner marks an important step in strengthening Myriad Alliance’s global footprint and further advancing the Alliance’s mission to make cross-border giving easier, safer, and more impactful for donors around the world.
As a Partner of the Myriad Alliance, Swiss Philanthropy Foundation will collaborate closely with Alliance members to support philanthropists seeking to deploy capital across borders to organisations, communities, and causes around the world. Philanthropic funders in Switzerland will be able to leverage the resources of the Myriad Alliance, while charities around the globe working with the members will now also be able to extend outreach to Swiss donors.
Swiss Philanthropy Foundation joins the existing Myriad Alliance network currently delivering cross-border giving services in eight markets. Members include:
In 2025, members of the Myriad Alliance collectively facilitated US$272.8 million in grants to support charitable programs in 153 countries, spanning education, the arts, disaster response, health services, climate change, and more.
Director General of Swiss Philanthropy Foundation Alexandra Bilak says:
“International giving is increasingly central to the way philanthropists seek to respond to complex global challenges. Joining the Myriad Alliance as a Partner allows Swiss Philanthropy Foundation to deepen collaboration with trusted peers worldwide, while laying the groundwork for full Membership. We see this as a strategic step toward strengthening cross-border philanthropy between Switzerland and the rest of the world.”
CEO of Myriad Alliance Birger Stamperdahl says:
“Cross-border philanthropy continues to grow as donors look to support causes and communities wherever the need is greatest. Swiss Philanthropy Foundation’s decision to join Myriad Alliance as a Partner reflects a shared commitment to quality, transparency, and impact. Their experience and reputation in structured philanthropy make them a strong addition to the Alliance, and we look forward to working together toward full Membership.”
