Myriad Alliance, the premier global network for cross-border philanthropy, is set to expand its international footprint. Starting June 2026, Tshikululu Social Investments will officially join the network as a Partner, with the possibility of becoming a full governing Member in the future.

Tshikululu Social Investments is a leading social impact advisory, fund manager, and strategic integrator. For nearly three decades, they have partnered with South African corporates, philanthropies, and foundations to deliver complex, multi-stakeholder social investment funds and programmes.

Tshikululu takes a holistic approach to social investment ensuring internal programme alignment and cross-sector collaboration for maximum impact. Joining forces with Myriad Alliance builds on this collaborative approach and marks a pivotal milestone in making cross-border philanthropy easier, safer, and more impactful for donors on a global scale. As the newest Partner within Myriad Alliance, Tshikululu Social Investments will work hand-in-hand with existing network Members. This collaboration opens vital new pathways for international giving:

• South African philanthropic funders will gain access to the extensive resources and reach of the Myriad Alliance, allowing them to effectively deploy capital to global causes, organizations, and communities.
• South African charities and non-profits will benefit from facilitated access to international donors across all Myriad Alliance covered countries, significantly expanding their fundraising potential.
• International charities affiliated with the alliance will now have a direct route to engage with and extend their outreach to the South African donor community.
• The Myriad Alliance overall will benefit from Tshikululu’s expertise in programming work with local partners in South Africa and surrounding countries.

Chief Executive Officer of Tshikululu Social Investments Leanne Emery-Hunter:

“Joining the Myriad Alliance is an exciting milestone for Tshikululu. The complex social and environmental challenges facing the world today do not respect borders, and neither should the capital, partnerships and innovation required to address them. Through this partnership, we can help connect funders to trusted local expertise, strengthen cross-border collaboration, and ensure that resources are deployed in ways that deliver meaningful and lasting impact.
