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.
