Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Effective Giving Incubation - apply to CE & GWWC's new program!, published by CE on December 5, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum.
Charity Entrepreneurship in collaboration with
Giving What We Can is opening a new program to launch 4-6 new
Effective Giving Initiatives (EGIs) in 2024. We expect them to raise millions in counterfactual funding for highly impactful charities, even in their first few years.
[Applications are open now]
In recent years
Doneer Effectief,
Effektiv Spenden &
Giving What We Can have moved huge sums of money ($1.4m, $35m and $330m, respectively) to the best charities globally. We aim to build on their experience and success by launching new EGIs in highly promising locations. These initiatives can be fully independent or run in collaboration with existing organizations, depending on what is most impactful. We'll provide the training, the blueprints, and the all-important seed funding.
This 8-week full-time, fully cost-covered program will run online from April 15 to June 7, 2024, with 2 weeks in person in London. We encourage individuals from all countries to apply, and we are particularly excited about applications from our
top recommended countries.

Who is this program for?
We invite applicants from all backgrounds, ages, and nationalities. Specific work experience or formal education credentials aren't necessary. During the program, we'll help you join forces with a co-founder from the cohort - someone whose skills and experience complement your own. Together, you'll make up an entrepreneurial team that:
Is high in moral ambition: Drives to maximize funds raised and then optimize their impact.
Is deeply impartial and open-minded: Focuses on following the latest evidence about the most impactful giving opportunities worldwide.
Has a strong focus on tangible results: Pushes for rigor, organization, and accountability to run a tight ship with excellent governance and outcomes.
Grows its influence and credibility over time: Builds relationships and acts as a trusted advisor to discerning donors.
N.B. One of you may have previous experience in fundraising or strategic marketing, though this is not required.
Why do we think this is promising?
In the last few years, several Effective Giving Initiatives such as
Doneer Effectief,
Effektiv Spenden &
Giving What We Can have moved millions in funding to the best charities globally, to the nonprofits that are helping the greatest number of those most in need, to the greatest extent. In short, they have made real progress on many of the world's most pressing problems.
However, there is still too little funding for highly impactful nonprofits and our internal
analysis suggests that EGIs are a proven effective way to raise these funds. This lack of funding takes time away from people who could be working on important problems, who instead have to focus on fundraising. In some cases, this means that high-leverage work won't get done because there is not enough funding, and projects have to shut down or minimize their scope.
Established EGIs have developed a deep repository of knowledge, resources, and systems that new actors can build on. Leveraging this has two significant benefits: New EGIs will (a) have a significantly higher chance of successfully launching and (b) be able to move faster and have an impact sooner than they would if they were starting from scratch.
CE has an excellent
track record of launching highly impactful organizations and has expertise in incubating and training charity founders. GWWC and other effective giving initiatives have expressed their excitement for this new program and will support its development and implementation, as well as directly mentor the new EGIs after the program.
