Charity Entrepreneurship’s Fully Funded Incubation Program ($100,000 - 200,000 in seed funding)

Starting a nonprofit is tough, especially when funding and mentorship are scarce. 

• Charity Entrepreneurship (CE) is changing that with its incubation program designed to help mission-driven individuals build evidence-based charities. 

With research-backed ideas, seed funding, and intensive training, this program is a unique pathway for anyone serious about creating large-scale social or environmental change.

Charity Entrepreneurship’s model goes beyond teaching theory. 

• Their research team spends thousands of hours each year identifying the most cost-effective and scalable interventions, so participants don’t start from scratch. 
• Past incubated organisations now reach millions of people, from global health initiatives to animal welfare programs.
• For entrepreneurs in Africa, this is an important opportunity because it pairs international funding with local implementation potential. 
• While many accelerators focus on startups, CE is dedicated specifically to nonprofits - a rare niche that prioritises measurable impact over profit.

Compared to traditional grant-seeking, joining CE’s incubation program provides structured mentorship, access to funders, and a global peer network, which are often missing when new charities launch independently.
