June Cohort:
Impactful Philanthropy Round

This will be a special edition of the Charity Entrepreneurship Incubation Program focused on increasing the effectiveness of the philanthropic sector.

We do not have specific intervention recommendations for new organizations yet. Recommended interventions will be published closer to the start date.

Joey Savoie, our CEO, has been leading much of this exploration. Examples of ideas that could fit this round include creating new philanthropic advisory services, training programs for grantmakers, events and networks to connect funders, or launching thesis-driven funds.

If you’d like to propose an idea for this round, you can submit it through this expression of interest form alongside submitting our main application form.

September Cohort:
Global Health & Wellbeing Round

Our research team is actively exploring Global Health and Wellbeing interventions. The two broad topics that we are looking into now are:

disability- & wellbeing-focused global health (i.e., interventions that primarily improve, rather than save, lives), as well as
family planning.

Research reports on the recommended charity ideas for this cohort will be published in early 2026.
