Myriad Australia was delighted to partner with the Australian International Development Network and the Australian Communities Foundation for an insightful conversation this morning on cross-border giving. At Myriad Australia, we’re committed to unlocking the full potential of international philanthropy, leveraging our global expertise and networks to make cross-border giving seamless and effective for donors in Australia. Today's discussion explored donor trends in the U.S., challenges to international giving, and ways to inspire more—and greater—philanthropy. A huge thank you to Mark Cubit, Ly Tran, and James Hains for sharing their time and expertise, inspiring Australian funders and charities to think beyond our borders. And - of course, a special shoutout to our fantastic MC, Aaron McNeilly! #australiangiving #philanthropy #collectivepartnerships #crossborder #knowledgenetworkshare Myriad USA Myriad Alliance Anita Toy Liem Nguyen

"As events in the USA shock, we see unvarnished the ugly face of backlash – against decades of global citizenship, progressive policies, and support for marginalised people, people living in poverty, people of colour, women, and low-income countries". Read Audette Exel AO's, Founder of The Adara Group, reflection on the recent USAID freeze. Audette argues that in these devastating circumstances we have an opportunity – as leaders, as philanthropists, as global citizens and as people of good intention. This is our moment to say clearly – and loudly – we are better than this. In particular, Audette calls upon philanthropists around the world to urgently start including international causes in their portfolio: "Our home is the world. To those who already support great not-for-profits like Adara working in low-income countries, thank you. It is time to give more".

You have seen that the people in the east of the #DRC are suffering even more than usual from the consequences of the armed conflict, in #Goma and throughout the region. Before this new attack, many Congolese organisations on the ground were already providing aid and developing solutions. These organisations must be able to continue to do so, and even to do more. The #KingBaudouinFoundation will continue to support some. You too can help to further fund three of them that are responding to new needs. Through a 'Giving Circle', you can make a donation to 3 remarkable local organisations: GOMA ACTIF, Kesho Congo; BVES Childsupport Bukavu https://lnkd.in/ej_zx6M8 Myriad USA Myriad Canada Myriad Australia Fondation Roi Baudouin

We're excited to share the results of a year-long data project examining equity in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region. In partnership with the State Street Foundation, Myriad USA led research to examine systemic drivers of inequity and barriers to advancement and access in education and employability in 8 APAC locations: Australia, China, Hong Kong, India, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, and Taiwan. Key findings include: 1️⃣ Investments in the socio-economically marginalized lead to broad benefits 2️⃣ Population decline could be an opportunity to widen access for historically marginalized communities 3️⃣ Where women have achieved educational equality, they still face workforce inequality 4️⃣ Data collection has not kept pace with demographic change We hope this research helps to inform ways that strategic philanthropic investment can drive advancement and equity in the APAC region.
