Manifund (formally “Manifold for Charity Inc.”) is a U.S. 501(c)(3) public charity that runs a transparency-first, software-mediated grantmaking and regranting platform for charitable projects, with a particular emphasis on AI safety and AI governance. Manifund describes its mission as helping charity founders find aligned donors, and it characterizes its operating model as “open fundraising” (public project proposals), “regranting” (delegating discretion over a donor’s budget to domain expert regrantors), and “impact markets” (using market-like mechanisms such as impact certificates to route capital toward projects).
The organization publishes granular information about proposals, evaluations, and its finances, and it states that it can turn around grants in days rather than months. Beyond running grant programs, Manifund also positions itself as an experimentation venue for grantmaking mechanisms—testing multiple charitable funding formats (including prizes and impact certificates)—and as operational infrastructure for external funders and programs that need a 501(c)(3) grant-distribution layer.
