Manifund expands AI safety regranting with self-funding and logistics support

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Manifund is offering a regranting program where donors can delegate budgets to individuals with expertise in AI safety. This year, they are also allowing self-funded regrantors to manage their own donations through the platform. Manifund handles the logistical complexities of distributing funds, including fiscal sponsorship, grant agreements, and payment processing, which can be a significant hurdle for donors. Additionally, the platform provides transparency by showcasing the grants made and the reasoning behind them, acting as a public good that informs other funders and researchers. AI

IMPACT Streamlines funding for AI safety research and projects, potentially accelerating their development.
