EA Berlin Talk & Community Meetup with Martin Wicke on AIM Programs: Charity Entrepreneurship, Research Training, and Founding to Give

Martin Wicke will give a talk on the different programs AIM offers for EAs and his experience going through the Charity Entrepreneurship Program.

Ambitious Impact (AIM), formerly known as just Charity Entrepreneurship, provides multiple programs to enable EAs maximizing their impact. Among others, AIM offers

  • The Charity Entrepreneurship Program for people who want to found charities 5x more cost-effective than the most effective ones to date

  • The Research Training Program for people planning for a research career and interested in levelling up their skills to identify, compare and recommend the most effective charities

  • The Founding to Give Program for people interested in founding a for-profit company to generate lots of donations for high-impact charities

AIM has a track record of incubating more than 31 charities, of which many have received grants from GiveWell or have been recommended by ACE.
You can apply to all of these programs with just a single application until April 14, 2024.
