Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: AIM Animal Initiatives, published by Joey on March 27, 2024 on The Effective Altruism Forum.
TLDR: If you're an EA-minded animal funder donating $200K/year or more, we'd love to connect with you about several exciting initiatives that AIM is launching over the next several months.
AIM (formerly Charity Entrepreneurship) has a history of incubating and supporting highly effective charities across various cause areas. We have also launched a variety of additional programs aiming at other impactful sectors, from philanthropy to research to local effective giving.
We have noticed through engaging on these different levels of impact that animal welfare seems particularly impactful and particularly neglected, even amongst a crop of already impactful and neglected cause areas.We believe that there are several opportunities to meaningfully impact animal welfare through donor collaboration and programming. To that end, we're launching a few exciting initiatives over the coming months.Specifically, we are excited about two projects that are launching soon:
An animal-focused Foundation Program round, where we'll be supporting a cohort of ambitious founders as they develop their philanthropic strategy. This cohort begins April 15.
An animal-focused funding circle, bringing funders together to strategically deploy capital to the most promising animal charities. This will likely launch mid-summer.
We believe these initiatives will offer ambitious funders unique opportunities for increased impact. If you're an EA-minded animal funder who donates $200K or more per year, please don't hesitate to reach out.
