Connecting Canadian donors with their favourite charitable causes, anywhere in the world.
Myriad Canada’s mission is to enable thoughtful and effective donations for international charitable projects, by helping Canadian individuals, families, corporations and foundations contribute to charitable causes abroad. We work with local organizations in the United States, Central and Latin America, Europe, Africa and Asia to implement charitable projects in the fields of Education Advancement, Poverty Alleviation, Health, Arts, Scientific Research, and the Environment.
Myriad Canada is registered with the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) as a charitable organization since 2017. We provide the due diligence and oversight that charitable projects require in order for donors to receive charitable tax receipts for their gifts. The way in which projects are carried out and donations are spent is tightly controlled and monitored, and is governed by two priorities: to have a clear and concrete impact, and to minimize management fees as much as possible.
Myriad Canada is proud to be a member of Philanthropic Foundations Canada (PFC) and the Canadian Association of Gift Planners (CAGP), reflecting our commitment to excellence in philanthropic practice.
