Ambitious Impact

*History*

Ambitious Impact (AIM) grew out of our flagship Charity Entrepreneurship program which provides exceptional people with the training, funding, and research to improve lives at scale. Since 2018, we have incubated more than 40 charities, providing talented founders with evidence-based intervention ideas, ongoing mentorship, and seed funding. Together, they are estimated to haved improved the lives of more than 35 million people and 1 billion animals worldwide.

*Today*

AIM’s work is growing. In 2022, we piloted and built out our AIM Impactful Grantmaking Program, helping funders set up their grantmaking for maximum impact and coordinate in cause area-specific funding circles for early and mid-size charities. In 2023, we started running our AIM Research Training Program to upskill nonprofit researchers and create research outputs to be used in our other programs.

In 2025, we ran our AIM Founding to Give Program for the first time, helping talented founders start high-growth businesses that are committed to directing some of their profits to funding high-impact work. Having grown to a staff size of more than 20, we still aim to do whatever is most impactful and cost-effective for us next within the philanthropic space.

*Our Culture*

AIM offers a dedicated yet informal and flexible work environment. We prioritize evidence, seek rigor and pursue impact while fostering a friendly, collaborative culture. Our team is driven by a deep curiosity and commitment to uncovering and maximizing the real-world impact of our work. Our East London office is a lively, vibrant hub—home to AIM’s team, the founders and staff of our incubated organizations, and regular visitors from London’s broader effectiveness-focused community.
