This is: Presenting: 2022 Incubated Charities (Charity Entrepreneurship), published by KarolinaSarek on December 8, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum.We are proud to announce that 5 new charitable organizations have been launched from our June-August 2022 Incubation Program. Nine high-potential individuals graduated from our two-month intensive training program. The Incubation Program has been designed to teach participants everything they need to know to launch and run an extremely effective, high-impact charity. From analyzing the cost-effectiveness of an intervention, all the way to crafting a proposal for funding, the program participants are equipped with the knowledge and confidence they need to see their chosen intervention become a reality. Eight have gone on to start new effective nonprofits focused on policy, mental health, family planning and EA meta cause areas, and one participant was hired by Charity Entrepreneurship as a Research Analyst. They will be joining our 2023 cohort.Thanks to our generous CE Seed Network of funders, we have helped to secure $732,000 in funding for the organizations, and will further support them with mentorship, operational support, free co-working space in London, and access to a constantly growing entrepreneurial community of funders, advisors, interns and other charity founders.The 2022 incubated charities are:Center for Effective Aid Policy- identifying and promoting high-impact development policies and interventions.Centre for Exploratory Altruism Research (CEARCH)- conducting cause prioritization research and outreach.Maternal Health Initiative- producing transformative benefits to women’s health, agency, and income through increased access to family planning.Kaya Guides- reducing depression and anxiety among youth in low-and middle-income countries.Vida Plena- building strong mental health in Latin America.CENTER FOR EFFECTIVE AID POLICYCo-founders: Jacob Wood, Mathias BondeWebsite: aidpolicy.orgEmail address: [email protected] CE incubation grant: $170,000Description of the intervention:The Center for Effective Aid Policy will work on identifying and advocating for effective solutions in aid policy. This may include:Increasing international development aidIncreasing budget allocation to specific effective development programsIntroducing new effective development interventions into aid budgetsRevising processes which result in improved development aid effectivenessBackground of the intervention:$179 billion was spent on development aid in 2021 - that is roughly 240x the amount of money that GiveWell has moved since 2009. While well-intentioned, there is a broad consensus among experts, think tanks, and implementing partners alike that aid effectiveness can be vastly improved.The Center for Effective Aid Policy believes tractable interventions exist in the development aid space that will result in improved aid spending and better outcomes for its recipients. You can read more in their recent EA Forum post.Near-term plans:In 2022-2023, The Center for Effective Aid Policy will identify policy windows and formulate impactful and practical-to-implement policies, which they will advocate to governments and NGOs. They conservatively estimate their chances of advocacy success at $5.62 per DALY - more than an order of magnitude higher than multiple GiveWell-recommended charities.CENTRE FOR EXPLORATORY ALTRUISM RESEARCH (CEARCH)Founder: Joel TanWebsite: exploratory-altruism.orgContact: incubation grant: $100,000Description of the intervention:CEARCH conducts cause prioritization research and outreach - identifying the most important problems in the world and directing resources towards solving them, so as to maximize global welfare.Background of the intervention:There are many potential cause areas (e.g.,...
