So it’d be a meta charity (movement building, or something like you current money-moving one), rather a direct poverty relief charity like I asked? I was looking for a more concrete example.
I more meant what a specific, concrete example of such a charity would be. E.g. one which gets a certain group (EAs, or the sciency types you’ve targeted before I think) to commit to meat-reduction.
Presumably it’s not wholly uneducated, given you’ve been looking into this issue :) Would you have time at some point to share what’s feeding into that estimate (even if it’s more a partial list of factors rather than being a full defense)?
It seems pretty hard ;) To the nearest hundred how many manhours do people think it’d take to start a direct poverty relief charity?
I would guess 1-3 years with 1-2 employees (~2000-12000 hours). It seems like it would depend a lot on the type of charity.
What type of (presumably typical, ‘median’) charity were you considering when you got that figure?
was mainly considering the charities I have worked for/with in the past (mostly small EA charities).

Happy to update based on more concrete or relevant numbers. I would be interested in hearing your estimate.

My first (uneducated, so take it with a huge grain of salt) guess would be 1-5 years for 1-2 people, similar to Joey’s.

I’d estimate a thousand, about.
I now think this was a huge underestimate.
