Facilitate thoughtful, effective cross-border giving by providing U.S. donors and foreign nonprofits with a platform, services, and expertise to support charitable initiatives overseas.
A defining feature of Myriad USA Inc Fka King Baudouin Foundation US Inc is its role as a platform for cross-border giving: it helps U.S. donors and foreign nonprofits support charitable initiatives overseas, and it also hosts donor funds tied to specific international causes. That structure shows up in the grant record, where large awards move through Myriad USA to advance community development, global health, women’s rights, education, and emergency relief. The largest recent grant in the data was $1,485,356 to Generation - You Employed Inc for community development activities. Other major awards include $1,000,000 to Zipline International Inc to expand vaccine access to Nigeria’s zero-dose children by targeting community health workers within zero-dose clusters, and $494,395 to the National Network to End Domestic Violence Inc for its WomensLaw program. The foundation also supports organizations working on gender equity, adolescent girls and youth of color, cultural heritage, and humanitarian response. Its active funds reinforce that international orientation. Named programs include disaster response, Lebanon humanitarian relief, sustainable agriculture in Brazil, eye healthcare in the Middle East and North Africa, and cultural heritage initiatives in Cambodia. The organization’s grantmaking combines donor-directed international grants with hosted funds and targeted program support.
Health and humanitarian work appear in several grants. In 2024, Myriad USA gave $1,000,000 to Zipline International Inc to expand vaccine access to Nigeria’s zero-dose children, and in 2025 it gave $100,000 to Children's Heartlink to support health activities. For emergency response, it awarded $150,878 to Give2asia to support local nonprofits providing relief to communities affected by the Turkey and Syria earthquakes. The foundation also backs rights-based and equity-focused work. It gave $494,395 to the National Network to End Domestic Violence Inc for its WomensLaw program, which provides free, individualized, and confidential legal information for survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking. Another $494,395 went to Global Fund for Women to support women-led organizations, gender non-conforming groups, and other marginalized communities. Education and youth development are another thread. Myriad USA granted $250,000 to Ms Foundation for Women Inc in 2023 and $244,395 in 2024 for adolescent girls and youth of color in the U.S., while smaller grants supported a learning center for young children in rural Ethiopia and free high school education in Adama, Ethiopia.
