GiveWell supports three types of Incubation Grants:

1. Research to evaluate program evidence, in order to build the evidence base for a program that may be highly cost-effective (our program assessments: https://www.givewell.org/research/intervention-reports; our cost-effectiveness model: https://www.givewell.org/how-we-work/our-criteria/cost-effectiveness/cost-effectiveness-models).

2. Early-stage funding for a promising organization working on a program that may be highly cost-effective.

3. Monitoring and evaluation for an existing organization working on a highly cost-effective program.

If the above types of funding do not fit your needs, please consider applying for a GiveWell Top Charity recommendation (details: https://www.givewell.org/apply-for-consideration).

This application form has three sections. Please fill out all sections of the form. We aim to respond to all applications within 4 - 6 weeks. Due to capacity constraints, we can only investigate a limited number of grants each year. We discuss the opportunities we prioritize most highly and list all past grants on this page: https://www.givewell.org/research/incubation-grants.

Thank you for your interest in our work! If you have questions, please contact us at info@givewell.org. We'd be happy to hear from you!
