The Incubated Charities Fund fosters charitable impact by providing seed grant funding to new, promising charities graduating from Charity Entrepreneurship's Incubation Program.
The Charity Entrepreneurship Incubation Program (CEIP) is a research and training program run by Ambitious Impact (AIM) that incubates multiple effective charities annually. Its Incubated Charities Fund allows donors to support newly incubated organisations arising from the CEIP (see examples of previously incubated projects here). Donations to this fund will form part of seed grants given to new incubated charities.
The CEIP aims to strengthen the nonproit sector by launching multiple new charities annually based on effective altruist principles.
It achieves this through an extensive research process that identifies high-impact, evidence-based ways to reduce suffering and a cost-covered program that helps aspiring entrepreneurs launch these interventions.
How it works:
Donations to this Fund will be granted directly to new incubated projects graduating from the CEIP. The CEIP’s focus areas include health and development policy, mental health, family planning, and animal advocacy.
As of 2023, the CEIP has helped to launch over 30 charities. These charities have already fundraised over $20 million USD and been recognised by top grantmakers like GiveWell, EA Funds, and Open Philanthropy. For example:
We have varying degrees of information about the cost-effectiveness of our supported programs. We have more information about programs that impact-focused evaluators (some of which our research team expects to investigate soon as part of their evaluator investigations) have looked into, as well as programs that we’ve previously included on our list of recommended charities. We think it’s important to share the information we have with donors as we expect it will be useful in their donation decisions, but don’t want donors to mistakenly overweight the extent to which we share information about some charities and not others. Therefore, we want to clarify two things:
