Charity entrepreneur are most interested in your values, your work ethic, and your potential for success.
STEP 2: PREPARE FOR THE PROGRAM
Once accepted, applicants will go through 1-2 months background reading and casual weekly meetups before kickoff. That way, you can learn the theory at your own pace and start to meet your fellow budding founders.
STEP 3: TWO-MONTH INTENSIVE TRAINING
The training is divided into two stages:
Month 1 is all about matching with a co-founder and a charity idea. You will spend most of your time working with project partners on practical challenges. Explore different working styles and test compatibility, values, and epistemics. Deeply engage in a variety of real-world tasks and charity ideas.
Month 2 is about working with your new partner to build your charity: early pilots, monitoring and evaluation strategy, and even your brand. Together, you will craft and submit a real proposal for funding and get ready to launch. We don’t just teach you about starting a charity, we make sure you have the tools and confidence to actually do it.
Stipends are provided to those in need, and transportation costs are covered for those who can travel for the week in person
STEP 4: CHARITY SELECTION
The Board of Directors and network of funders evaluate the teams and their project proposals. Then, they award seed funding to launch successful projects, with grants ranging from $50,000 to $175,000. In 2021, new CE charities received seed funding of over $500,000 in total.
If you don’t seek or receive start-up funding, our track record for connecting non-founder participants to research grants, related jobs, and other pathways to impact is near 100%. (Moreover, we are able to offer stipends to the few participants who do not immediately find a new opportunity).
STEP 5: ONGOING SUPPORT
After launching, you will continue to receive ongoing operational support, one-on-one mentorship, and access to a powerful worldwide network of experts, funders, and skilled employees. We continue to evaluate your measurable impact over time, coaching you and championing your success.
