Myriad USA Receives Collaborative Impact Award at DAF Giving Summit
Myriad USA is proud to announce that it has been honored with the Collaborative Impact Award at the DAF Giving Summit 2024 in Nashville, TN. This prestigious honor recognizes Myriad USA’s partnership with the San Diego Foundation and celebrates the efforts we’ve made to enhance our ability to serve community foundations, other philanthropic advisors, and their clients, resulting in a positive global impact. This award also reflects our commitment to collaboration and innovation in the philanthropic sector.
Since the beginning of this collaboration, San Diego Foundation donors, in partnership with Myriad USA, have granted almost $1.9 million to a variety of international organizations and initiatives. These grants have supported causes such as science workshops in schools in Canada, breastfeeding peer support in England, an HPV awareness campaign in Kenya, in-kind goods and services for social welfare providers in Greece, relief funds in response to the Turkey and Syria Earthquakes, and the Ukraine War, benefiting organizations and efforts on multiple continents. This collaboration has enabled both organizations to achieve significantly greater impact together than they could have independently.
Rebecca Stibbe, our Director of Family Philanthropy, expressed her gratitude: “Receiving the Collaborative Impact Award is a testament to the power of partnership. This award recognizes not only Myriad USA and the San Diego Foundation, but also all of our partners, donors, and grantees who uplift their communities. We are deeply honored and motivated to continue our mission of facilitating thoughtful, effective giving around the world.”
Cami Mattson, San Diego Foundation’s Senior Director, Philanthropic Strategy, says “Our partnership with Myriad USA has been transformative. Together, we have been able to extend our reach and support impactful initiatives across the globe.”
Myriad USA thanks the DAF Giving Summit for this recognition and the San Diego Foundation for its partnership. Together, Myriad USA and the San Diego Foundation are committed to enabling donors to expand their reach and nonprofits to increase their impact worldwide.
