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: Presenting nine new charities - a record for the AIM (CE) Incubation Program, published by CE on May 14, 2024 on The Effective Altruism Forum.
We are thrilled to introduce nine new charities launched through our February-March 2024 Incubation Program. This is an AIM record with an average of five charities launched per round in the previous years. We are also proud to announce that thanks to very generous donors from the
Seed Network Funding Circle, these new organizations have secured over $1 million in funding! This is a significant milestone for AIM as an organization. We are very grateful for the support of our funders, mentors, and, most of all, the talented applicants who decided to pursue entrepreneurial careers in the nonprofit sector.
We are committed to ongoing support for these new initiatives through mentorship, operational assistance, free co-working space in London, and access to an ever-expanding entrepreneurial network of funders, advisors, interns, and fellow charity founders.
This article provides a brief introduction to our new organizations. You will find more information in the sections below if you want to support some charities with further funding or are interested in volunteer opportunities. If you want to launch a high-impact charity, please visit

We are excited to unveil the February-March 2024 Incubation Program cohort:
1.
Centre for Aquaculture Progress focuses on farmed fish welfare.
2.
Notify Health improves life-saving vaccine coverage for children through effective and scalable vaccination reminders.
3.
Learning Alliance tackles the foundational learning crisis by bringing evidence-based teaching practices into classrooms
4.
Novah works towards the reduction of intimate partner violence.
5.
Access to Medicines
Initiative addresses contraception stock-outs.
6. FarmKind aims to close the funding gap for some of the most impactful animal welfare charities.
7. Ark Philanthropy helps high-net-worth individuals create philanthropic strategies to address global challenges.
8.
Taimaka specializes in acute malnutrition treatment.
9. A charity focused on animal welfare (to be announced later this year).
An introduction to each charity:

CE incubation grant: $30,000
Description of the intervention:
The Centre for Aquaculture Progress is a new organization focused on improving the aquaculture industry to benefit consumers, farmers, and fish. It is the first organization dedicated to improving fish welfare in Greece. The organization's first campaign will involve advocating for the increased uptake of pre-slaughter electrical stunning for Greek sea bream and sea bass.
Background of the intervention:
Greece is the largest fish producer in the EU, according to the number of individuals alive at any time. Despite Greece being a significant player in EU aquaculture, no animal welfare organization is currently dedicated to improving the welfare of farmed fish in Greece. Animal welfare organizations in the Mediterranean have identified Greece as a gap which must urgently be filled.
Hundreds of millions of farmed sea bream and sea bass are subjected to extreme suffering in Greece yearly. In the slaughter process, they are unloaded live into an ice slurry and endure a slow and painful death by gradual freezing and suffocation. While inhumane slaughter is just one of many welfare problems sea bream and sea bass face, it has the most well-researched, tractable and agreed upon solution: pre-slaughter electrical stunning.
Near-term plans:
