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/CE's Materials and Resources for EAs, published by CE on April 5, 2024 on The Effective Altruism Forum.
With just two weeks to go (deadline April 14th), many EAs are preparing to apply to our three programs.
Our
Charity Entrepreneurship Incubation Program (to launch your own nonprofit)
Our
Research Program (to find the best solutions to the worst problems)
Our new
Founding to Give pre-Incubator (to find a highly commercial idea and co-founder)
Before applying, we often encourage applicants to check out our resources to give them the best chances of success. We also believe in just sharing good ideas and good materials. So we decided to post some of those resources here for the community at large.
There's a lot of material here, so don't feel put off. Most successful applicants don't have a huge amount of time to prepare before applying. Instead, they dig deeper into specific content the further they get in the application process.
