The Charity Entrepreneurship Incubation Program offers a fully-funded, two-month training program designed to equip a select group of talented individuals from diverse backgrounds with the essential resources and support needed to establish a leading charitable organization.

This program includes comprehensive training, assistance in finding suitable co-founders, access to a well-connected and collaborative community, an evidence-based and cost-effective intervention idea, and seed funding to kickstart their initiatives.

About Charity Entrepreneurship

Charity Entrepreneurship was established in June 2018 by Joey Savoie and Karolina Sarek as a project under the Charity Science Foundation of Canada. It originated from six months of thorough research in 2016 and led to the creation of two GiveWell-incubated charities: Charity Science Health and Fortify Health.

The primary objective of Charity Entrepreneurship is to facilitate the development of more impactful charitable organizations worldwide.
