Charity Entrepreneurship (CE) believes that starting a high-impact charity can prevent immense amounts of suffering by:
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 $215,000 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, which 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.
