This is: Announcing Charity Entrepreneurship’s ‘23 ideas. Apply now., published by KarolinaSarek on October 4, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Animals, Policy & Biosecurity. Start a high-impact charity with CE’s 2023 Incubation Programs Applications are now open to the Charity Entrepreneurship Incubation Programs! As part of our scale up, Charity Entrepreneurship will now run two Incubation Programs in 2023. That means twice as many ideas and twice as many career opportunities. The first program will run from February 6 to March 31, 2023. The charities we’re most excited to launch are: A policy organization focused on banning the import of low-welfare animal products A policy organization focused on banning the use of live-bait fish An organization working on milkfish welfare issues in the Philippines A policy organization advocating for increasing tobacco taxes to reduce tobacco consumption An advocacy organization working to increase road traffic safety The second cohort will run throughout July and August 2023. The focus of this incubation program will be launching evidence-based charities in the biosecurity/health security space (more below) as well as highly scalable global health & development ideas. Your first thought might be that you lack the relevant experience in the specific fields above. That’s okay, our training and launch model doesn’t require you to be an expert. Lucia and Jack (Lead Exposure Elimination Project) weren’t experts in lead elimination, and Nikita and Brandon didn’t know much about food fortification before they started Fortify Health. Yet both of these organizations, and many more we have launched, are on track to becoming field leaders or GiveWell recommended. What we do Charity Entrepreneurship launches high-impact nonprofits by connecting potential founders like you with effective ideas, training, and funding. This means we spend thousands of research hours to identify highly-effective interventions in chosen cause areas. We then provide you with a two-month intensive training program (all costs covered) to teach you how to run effective charities. We help you pair with a co-founder that will best complement your skills and personality. You finish the program with a proposal for funders that we deliver to our seed network. They grant up to $200,000 USD per project. You can learn more about the program at our Incubation Program website. Top animal welfare charity ideas for the February- March 2023 Incubation Program For the February-March 2023 Incubation Program, we currently recommend three animal welfare charity ideas: ban low-welfare imports, ban the use of live-bait fish, and milkfish welfare in the Philippines. A deeper report on each of these will be released in the coming months; this post is intended only to give a sense of what the final ideas will look like for applicants to the Incubation Program. Our top three ideas are the result of an intensive nine-month research process designed to identify the interventions most likely to succeed as high-impact start-up charities. The process began by listing nearly 275 ideas and gradually narrowing down, looking at the options in more and more depth. In order to assess how promising interventions would be for future charity entrepreneurs, we use a variety of different decision-making tools such as group consensus, weighted factor models, cost-effectiveness analyses, quality of evidence assessments, case study analyses, and expert interviews. You can see the full initial list of about 275 ideas, along with a summary of our prioritization process here. This process was exploratory and rigorous – but it was not comprehensive. We did not research all 275 ideas in depth, nor do we think the initial 275 ideas are the only good ideas Therefore, there are still potentially good interventions tha...
