This is: Presenting: 2023 Incubated Charities (Round 1) - Charity Entrepreneurship, published by CE on May 18, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum.We are thrilled to announce the launch of four new nonprofit organizations through our February/March 2023 Incubation Program.Executive summaryThe 2023 Round 1 incubated charities are:Animal Policy International - Ensuring animal welfare standards are upheld in international trade policyAnsh - Empowering mothers to save newborn lives by building healthcare capacity for adoption of Kangaroo CareHealthy Futures Global - Preventing mother-to-child transmission of syphilis through testing and treatmentHealthLearn - Providing the world’s best online training to health workers in developing countriesTwo more organizations got started during the program, but are not officially incubated by CE. We believe that the interventions, chosen by the solo founders, are promising (one was recommended by us as a top idea). We have provided support to both organizations through mentorship and benefits similar to those offered to our incubated projects.These organizations are:The Mission Motor - Building a more evidence-driven animal cause area by training and supporting organizations to use monitoring and evaluation to improve the impact of their interventionsUpstream Policies - Driving responsible fishing practices by championing bait fish prohibitionContext: The Charity Entrepreneurship Incubation Program February/March 2023The February/March 2023 program focused on global health and animal advocacy. Our generous donors from the CE Seed Network have enabled us to provide these initiatives with $590,000 in grant funding to kickstart their interventions.In addition to our seed grants, we are dedicated to providing our founders with comprehensive support. This includes continuous mentorship, operational assistance, free co-working spaces at our London office, and access to an ever-growing network of founders, donors, and highly specialized mentors. We have offered several tailored safety nets for those who have decided not to found a charity this program, such as career mentorship, connections to job opportunities, a two-month stipend, or another chance to found a charity through one of our upcoming programs. Our aim is to ensure that all program participants pursue high-impact careers, regardless of whether they found a charity in the given round.We are also pleased to share with you a recently-published video, which showcases program participants sharing their insights on the challenges and benefits of the program. They discuss their motivations for applying, as well as what they found most useful and enjoyable. The footage was filmed during an in-person week held at our London office, and we believe it provides valuable insights into what makes our program unique. We hope you take a moment to watch it.Feel free to learn more about the program here. The next application phase will start on July 10, and close on September 30, 2023. You'll have the opportunity to apply for both the February/March 2024 and July/August 2024 Incubation Programs. For the February/March 2024 program, our focus will be on: mass-media interventions, and preventative animal advocacy.
