Only a small number of nonprofits are founded based on rigorous evidence and research.

As a result, many problems go unidentified and unaddressed.

TESTIMONIALS
Varsha Venugopal​
Co-founder, Suvita
The CE Incubation Programme gave me evidence-backed ideas, value-aligned mentors, and seed funding to launch Suvita. The estimated 886 lives we’ve saved in 5 years owe part of their gratitude to CE.
Laura Sofia Castro
Co-founder, ACTRA
The CE program connected me with ambitiously altruistic people leading incredible projects, turning founding a charity from a distant dream into a real possibility. Without it, I don't think I'd never have taken the leap!
Haven King-Nobles
Co-founder,
Fish Welfare Initiative
CE is literally the reason that millions of farmed fish will have better lives and that I am not currently living in my parents' basement. Would highly recommend to anyone trying to do the most good.
