Time is running out to make tax-deductible contributions in 2024. Review our year-end contribution guidelines.
Myriad USA, formerly King Baudouin Foundation United States (KBFUS), is the leading resource for philanthropic giving overseas – a trusted advisor to individuals, families, corporations, and foundations seeking to support their favorite causes, anywhere across the globe. Myriad USA brings together the expertise of KBFUS and Give2Asia, uniting two longtime partners. KBFUS changed its name to Myriad USA in January 2024, and under this new brand now provides donors with a simple and efficient platform to support nonprofit initiatives around the world.
Note: When searching for this organization at Fidelity Charitable, it may still be referred to as King Baudouin Foundation (TIN 58-2277856), until the IRS updates are made.

If Myriad USA does not have an established Friends Fund with the nonprofit, Myriad USA may be able to facilitate a one-off donation to that organization for grants above $5,000, subject to the organization completing the Myriad USA due diligence requirement. Please contact Myriad USA directly at info@myriadusa.org to learn if a nonprofit is eligible and let them know that you would like to donate from your Fidelity Charitable Giving Account.
Myriad USA’s fees for established Friends Funds are a contribution-based fee model, in which an administrative fee is charged based on the number of dollars raised by the organization over a calendar year.
Grants for established Friends Funds typically reach organizations within 3-4 weeks after grant receipt. Grants for new organizations typically require 4+ weeks, though timelines may extend depending on the foreign beneficiary’s responsiveness.
