However, you're welcome to submit an application for any public-benefit project, as long as it meets legal requirements about what we can fund as a 501(c)(3).

2. Complete the proposal form

Write up a description of your project and set parameters around the amount of funding you're trying to raise and the deadline for raising it. For examples and inspiration, you can browse the projects on the Manifund homepage.

3. Sign the grant agreement

This is the legal paperwork stipulating the terms of any grant funding you receive. It can be found on your project's page once you publish your proposal.

4. Receive funding

If donors collectively offer your project the minimum funding amount you specify before the deadline, then you'll receive payment through Manifund to start your project!
