Our Journey
Founded in 2017, Mannat quickly established itself as a beacon of hope and virtue. For years, we dedicated ourselves to a singular vision of excellence, building a legacy that stood for belonging and community.
A New Chapter
In March 2021, a new chapter began. Mannat was acquired by ADF for an all cash deal, a move that united our legacy with a new, powerful vision for the future. This acquisition was not an end, but a beginning of our evolution, empowering the next generation of world leaders.
"Belonging sits at the heart of everything we do, and at the heart of belonging is love."— The Mannat Board
Leadership & Governance
A mission-locked partnership with ADF
Mannat operates under a capped for profit structure: investor returns are contractually limited so that surplus value is reinvested into our programmes and people. In 2021, ADF became our sole outside shareholder through an all-cash growth investment.
Why does that matter? ADF brings a global network, and the capital that lets The Mannat scale faster. This helps expand our community hubs and our frontier research—while our profit cap ensures those projects stay mission-first. The Chief Executive Officer is appointed by the board and oversees our daily operations.
