aka Manifund, manifund ai safety regranting
Manifund runs a regranting program that gives independent budgets ($100k+) to expert regrantors in AI safety, who recommend fast grants of roughly $5k-$50k to seed early-stage projects, independent researchers, and field-building work. Projects can also be posted publicly on the platform for ongoing crowdfunding from donors and regrantors. Regrants go to registered charities and individuals, with for-profit organizations eligible pending due diligence.1,2,3,4
