Ambitious Impact (AIM), formerly known as Charity Entrepreneurship, is an organization that runs in-depth training and incubation programs to prepare individuals for high-impact roles.
Their Charity Entrepreneurship incubation program launches high-impact nonprofits by connecting entrepreneurs with effective ideas, training, and funding. To date, the cause areas their research and incubation activities have mostly focused on are global health and development, animal welfare, biosecurity and “EA meta”,[1] though they’ve also incubated charities focused on human subjective wellbeing and climate change.
Other programs include AIM Grantmaking, AIM Research, and AIM Founding to Give.
Funding
As of July 2022, AIM has received nearly $2.4 million in funding from Open Philanthropy[2][3] and over $1 million from Effective Altruism Funds[4][5][6][7][8][9].

Wish list: A heroic editor adds a list of CE-incubated charities in the body text and/or related entries, and also adds CE to the body text and/or related entries of the entries on those charities.
(Note: Heroism will be acquired/demonstrated through this act, rather than being a prerequisite I’m screening for.)
