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
Regranting
We delegate grant budgets to regrantors who are experts in their fields, and let donors choose which regrantors best align with their interests.
Impact markets
We run funding rounds where funders can invest in projects vying for charitable prizes — similarly to a venture-capital ecosystem.
Open call
We let anyone propose a charitable project and look for funders on our site, acting as Kickstarter for nonprofits.
