About Charity Entrepreneurship

Charity Entrepreneurship backs the creation of new, highly effective nonprofits rather than established organizations. Its support is centered on a research-driven incubation model: it identifies promising neglected interventions, trains and matches founders, then provides seed funding and ongoing support to launch charities in priority cause areas. The funder is especially distinctive for combining rigorous cause selection with hands-on founder incubation and a pathway to launch through its network of donors and fiscal sponsors.

Giving Approach

Mostly invite-led or program-linked support rather than open grantmaking; provides small-to-midsize seed grants for newly launched charities, often around $100k-$200k for incubated organizations, with a limited number of awards each year. Also offers fully funded fellowships and incubation support in cohorts that recruit roughly twice annually.

How to approach this funder

There is no general open application for most support; interested founders should apply through CE’s incubation cohorts or follow recruitment announcements for the seed fund and research fellowship. Applicants are strongest when they are pursuing a CE-prioritized, neglected, evidence-backed intervention and can demonstrate founder fit, cost-effectiveness, and readiness to launch quickly.
