Our open platform helps charity founders find aligned donors.
Our approach is...
Everything about Manifund is public: our grant proposals, evals, and finances. Even our source code and meeting notes!
We turn around grants in days instead of weeks, and automate flows with software, so money can move where it's needed — quickly.
We bet on unproven people, speculative projects, and weird funding mechanisms. Not everything works, and that's okay!
We're good at building websites, but we don't know everything — so we ask domain experts (and people like you!) to help decide what to fund.
How we fund projects
Open fundraising
We host public proposals for new charitable projects, acting as a Kickstarter for nonprofits. Donors can fund projects directly, or chat with their founders.
Regranting
We delegate grant budgets to regrantors who are experts in their fields, and let donors choose the regrantors who best represent their interests.
Impact markets
We run funding rounds where funders can invest in projects vying for charitable prizes — similarly to a venture capital ecosystem.
