What attendees are saying
“The sort of people I’ve met here—they’re extremely committed, extremely compassionate . It’s really refreshing that they’re thinking so far ahead about the work they’re doing and whether it’s having an impact or not.”
Iqbal Dhaliwal Global executive director of J-PAL “One of the most important factors in starting a high-impact charity is the right co-founder. EAG has been a place where I consistently met some of the most promising candidates who later on went on to start a charity through Charity Entrepreneurship Incubation Program.”
