The King Baudouin Foundation, an independent and pluralist foundation for the public interest.
Myriad Canada, formerly KBF CANADA, was founded on the initiative of the King Baudouin Foundation.
Established in 1976, the King Baudouin Foundation (KBF) has been acting for the common good together with numerous partners, experts and donors. Their activities aim to foster sustainable and positive change in society, in Belgium, Europe and around the world.
Thanks to the support KBF gives, organizations and citizens are empowered to work to create a better society. KBF accompanies philanthropists and donors (individuals, companies, or organizations) wishing to take action for the common good on any continent and in any area of the general interest, notably through our founding membership of the Myriad Alliance for Borderless Giving.
The King Baudouin Foundation has at its disposal its own capital. Its independent governing bodies represent the diversity of society.
