Looking for a meaningful job in the charity space that makes a real difference to people’s lives across the world?
You could be a perfect fit for our 2-month Charity Entrepreneurship Incubation Program, giving you the training, funding, and mentorship you need to launch your own organisation dedicated to making the world a better place.
Applications are open until March 24th, 2025
For more information, please download/view the supporting documents.
About Charity Entrepreneurship
Our research team spends more than 5,000 hours a year identifying new solutions to tackling global inequalities - from improving education quality and job opportunities for people living in poverty to reducing environmental pollution and newborn mortality rates. We then find people like you with a drive to make the world a better place and the talent to build new organisations producing a sea change in our ability to help the world’s poorest and most vulnerable. Think startups, but solely focused on making the world a better place.
Since 2018, we’ve launched almost 50 new organisations through this program, providing new founders like you with more than £3 million in seed funding. These organisations are doing incredible work across the world, saving and improving thousands of lives every single year. GiveWell (effectively the Oscars of charity work) has recommended our charities as some of the very best in the world - improving lives more effectively than thousands of other, better-known charities.
To take one example, the Lead Exposure Elimination Project (LEEP) was founded through our program in 2021 by Lucia Coulter and Jack Rafferty - a former doctor and former consultant - with just £50,000 in funding. LEEP now operates in more than 20 countries, partnering with governments from Malawi to Pakistan. Their work is projected to save 46 million children from lead paint exposure over the coming decades.
While lead has been recognised and regulated as a dangerous substance in many wealthy countries for decades, it’s sadly far too common in many developing nations. As such, it’s one of the biggest causes of lower learning in school and reduced lifetime earnings, cementing cycles of poverty before many have even reached adolescence.
Applying for our program
Through partner projects, video lectures, and discussion groups, our program will teach you everything you need to know to launch a field-leading charity. You’ll learn while creating the building blocks for your own charity, from a review of the evidence base to drawing up a plan for your first year and an initial operating budget.
What we offer
-
2-month full-time online training with 2 weeks in-person in London.
-
Zero fees, with a stipend of £1,900 per month during (and potentially up to 2 months after) the program
-
Matching you to a talented cofounder to lead your organisation with
-
An average of £100,000 in seed funding for each organisation we launch
-
Initial operations support and ongoing mentorship
-
Co-working space in our London office
-
A community of previous founders, mentors, and potential donors to help you succeed
We encourage anyone with a drive to direct their work to producing real, positive change to apply. There are no mandatory skills or experience - we’ve had founders from every continent, from twenty to mid-fifties, and from almost every type of prior job you can think of. Some of the world’s most successful for-profit founders had no prior experience. Our experience training charity founders suggests the same applies to the non-profit world.
Applications to our program are open until March 24th.
Not sure if you’re the right fit? The best way to find out is to submit our initial application form.
We’re also hosting a series of online information sessions - about the program, our research, and what it’s like to found your own organisation - that we encourage you to attend to learn more in the run-up to the application deadline.
We help you find and transition to a high-impact career with comprehensive support, removing barriers and accelerating your journey to maximize good.

University College London
London, UK
Grade 10 role with a globally competitive salary of £100,000-£120,000 pa, with excellent benefits and sector-leading relocation support.
UCL is a radically different university. Founded in 1826 in the heart of London, we were the first university in England to welcome students of any religion and the first to welcome women on equal terms with men. Today UCL has over 40,000 students, 13,000 staff and 400,000 alumni, and is one of the world’s top 10 universities.
In 2020, we closed one of the most successful fundraising campaigns in the UK’s higher education sector, which raised £624M and galvanised our community. We have undertaken a strategic review of our programmes and have started to design a roadmap to build further capacity and expertise across our Advancement division. As part of this growth, we are investing in our Advancement Strategy & Operations team and require a dynamic and experienced new Director to lead this change.
The Director of Advancement Strategy & Operations is a pivotal and strategic senior leadership role within Advancement, offering a visionary leader the chance to make a lasting impact at one of the world’s leading universities. This is an opportunity to reimagine, innovate and shape the future of UCL’s ambitious fundraising and engagement programme, building systems and structures, and driving excellence in support of our philanthropic vision.

You will lead and inspire a team of 24 to design and harness cutting-edge tools, data, systems and practices, delivering insights into donor behaviour, prospect and pipeline development, and ensuring operational efficiency and compliance. You will also play an active role as a leader in Advancement, and in the wider UCL context, with responsibility for ensuring the right resources and talent are in place to deliver on our fundraising and alumni engagement targets, now and in the future.
The ideal candidate will bring a depth of experience from a Higher Education Advancement context of a similar size and scale, and a nuanced understanding of global ‘best-practice’. Your expertise and enabling leadership style will raise the professional confidence of advancement at UCL and play a key role in developing the culture of the office. In return, you will join the team at an incredibly exciting time as we plan for UCL’s biggest ever fundraising and engagement campaign, launching in UCL’s bicentenary year, 2026. We are a team of passionate individuals who work together to achieve remarkable things with a global impact.
Our people really are our greatest asset and we invest in them so that they can fulfil their potential. Equity, diversity and inclusion is important to us. We are committed to creating an environment where everyone is encouraged to give their best in a place where their unique experiences, perspectives and skills are seen as valuable assets.

We are happy to receive part-time applications for all of our job opportunities, and can consider a 0.8FTE working pattern for this role.
