At Manifund, we’re constantly pushing the boundaries of how charitable work gets funded. We just launched funding rounds for the ACX Forecasting Mini-Grants and OpenPhil AI Worldviews Contest, allowing accredited investors to gamble invest in impactful projects. But many users were left out of the fun: “impact certs seem neat and all, but I sure don’t have a million bucks to qualify as an accredited investor…”
Today, we’re solving this problem with our new currency: hectoMana!
1 hectoMana (hM) is equivalent to 100 mana, which is sold at a rate of 100 mana/$1.
Like mana, hectoMana is a play currency which cannot be redeemed for real dollars.
You can buy hectoMana on Manifund, grow your portfolio by betting on impact certificates, and eventually donate the hectoMana (as real dollars) to established charities.
A purchase of hectoMana is a tax deductible donation
So now all you non-accredited investors can go buy shares of the AI Worldviews Contest entries. Put the “fun” back into “funding” and buy hectoMana today!
Disclaimer: we haven’t yet added the charity page like there is on Manifold, so the “cashing out to a charity of your choice” isn’t really a thing yet, but should be implemented within the next week
