Our mission is to cause more effective charities to exist in the world by connecting talented individuals with high-impact intervention opportunities. We achieve this through an extensive research process and our Incubation Program.
Charity Entrepreneurship (CE) believes that starting a high-impact charity can prevent immense amounts of suffering by:​
  • Redirecting millions of dollars in a more impactful direction
  • Providing governments with data to run national- or state-level programs
  • Attracting donors from a broader spectrum of areas and interests
  • Shaping an entire cause area by raising the bar for effective charities
  • Creating an opportunity for talented individuals to get invested in the field
  • Providing a valuable learning opportunity that can enhance the whole movement​
It is also a highly neglected career opportunity that, fueled by a more analytical effective-altruist mindset, can lead to cost-effective, evidence-based outcomes that are approximately equivalent to ~$200,000 in donations to effective charities per year. It provides a chance to build a portfolio of useful skills and great career capital, and to have high job satisfaction while retaining substantial individual impact.

HISTORY

Charity Entrepreneurship was formally founded in June 2018 by Joey Savoie and Karolina Sarek. It’s a project of Charity Science Foundation of Canada that was initiated by six months of research in 2016 and resulted in the founding of two GiveWell-incubated charities: Charity Science Health and Fortify Health. Prior to Charity Entrepreneurship, Charity Science functioned as a meta-organization that helped donors to maximize their impact by making informed decisions about charitable opportunities.
