Here’s one idea you may have already thought of: you might connect with social entrepreneurship organizations and university groups to find rapidly growing new social entrepreneurship organizations in need of funding. If they have some initiatives that are dormant due to lack of funding, it could be a very impactful way to make contributions. Several years ago I helped with the Social Entrepreneur’s business plan competition at Stanford (part of an organization called BASES). Each year a few teams would develop their project into a non-profit, such that at this point there are a good number of fully operational international organizations. There are other competitions too, like Echoing Green, where you might play a role coming in a little later when they are developing new initiatives but lack the funding.

Of course, there’s a lot there that might be more difficult than it sounds (particularly finding organizations at the right stage in their growth), but figured it’s at least worth some consideration.

Alright, great to see all the great work you guys do and I look forward to see where you go with GiveWell Labs.
