I'll sesquiple (that means 1.5x) all of your donations made to Mriya before this market closes, up to M$50,000 of your donations (I'll donate up to M$25,000). This market resolves to the amount mana you all have donated in that time (before sesquipling).

If you are considering buying mana just for this, don't. You can get your real-money donations to Mriya doubled elsewhere, by people much richer than me.


Mriya is a 501(c)(3) organization in Boston, MA, shipping humanitarian aid to Ukraine. It is run by 4 Ukrainian students at Boston University and MIT, whom I know personally. Since the beginning of the full-scale Russian invasion, Mriya has been delivering life-saving supplies and made a great impact: over just the first few months, they were able to ship over $40,000 worth of help, and by now, the number is way more significant.

Some examples of their work include over 500 Combat Application tourniquets (medical devices designed to stop heavy bleeding), warm sleeping bags for babies in areas with damaged heating systems, and more. They also provided electricity generators and Starlink sets for schools in the areas where Russia bombed power plants and energy infrastructure, leaving children without light and heat during the school year.


Fine print: I'll not sesquiple my own donations, so no feedback loop shenanigans. I may round down if your donation was odd. Trent Yazzo's donation made shortly before I created this market counts.

Question unrelated: how does donations in mana get converted into USD and given to charities? Do Manifold take the USD they received from people buying mana with USD and use those to make real money donations?

@AvaLovisa Yup, that's pretty much it!

Donations so far: 61 + 500 + 5000 + 10 + 1000 + 2014 = 8085

@Yev There were M$400 donated after that, bringing the total to M$8485. I'm going to resolve to 8485 later today unless anyone objects.

I had to look up what "sesquiple" means -- it's 1.5x. Not "sextuple" (6x) unfortuantely, so much less exciting...

@Austin sorry 😅
