Helping great scientists prototype their most ambitious ideas for good
Manifest Grants is a fast grants program that awards $25K – $100K to scientists to accelerate their most ambitious ideas to solve the world’s biggest problems.
We focus on translational research. The applications are max 2 pages and you get a decision within 21 days. No IP is taken.

Why Manifest Grants?
Researchers are developing innovative solutions to disease, aging, the climate crisis, and other big world problems. But a few of these solutions ever make it out of the lab. Usually, when the basic science is done, there’s just a little more work left – prototyping, techno economic-modeling, real-world testing – to show the science has commercial potential. But almost no one funds such work.
We cannot afford potential solutions to sit idle. The world urgently needs new funding vehicles that empower scientists to quickly test if their most ambitious ideas are commercially viable. That’s why we started Manifest Grants – to bring breakthrough science from the lab to the benefit of all.
We’ll be expanding Manifest Grants to critical areas of science. Stay tuned for updates.
