TL;DR
NOVAH (No Violence At Home) was incubated by Charity Entrepreneurship (now Ambitious Impact) in 2024 to test a promising idea: preventing intimate partner violence through edutainment, in our case a serialised radio drama. Over the past two years we have produced and aired two seasons in Rwanda.
We are currently evaluating our second season through a randomized controlled trial with 2,400 couples in Rwanda in partnership wi...
I am writing up two charity ideas I’ve wanted to investigate, but haven’t been able to, in the hopes someone will investigate them further. If you end up investigating either, I'd be most interested to see what conclusions you come to!
Vulture preservation as a global health intervention
Since the mid 1990's the vulture population in India has been rapidly declining. The reason is due to a few chemicals which are fed to livestock, which is highly poisonous to vultures.

This summer, 27 residents came to Berkeley for the first cohort of the Generator Residency, a three-month program for AI safety generalists run by Kairos and Constellation.
Residents receive mentorship from experienced generalists and researchers and are working on projects like running workshops for professionals entering AI safety, building a cross-org...
What's the forum etiquette on advertising jobs?

Context: Training for Good is hiring for two exciting roles. I expect a bunch of great applicants to be here, right now, on this forum.
BUT I suspect that top level posts advertising jobs decreases the average user's experience. Maybe that's outweighed by the possibility of TFG reaching a top candidate (but I'm motivated to believe that so don't really trust it). Plus, it feels like a tragedy of the commons type scenario. So I've decided to post it as a
short formquick take instead.___________

I think job listings are one of the most valuable things on the forum, I'm surprised you're even asking!
There's even a Job listing (open) tag, that you've used in the past with wild success. It was the success story for the forum from the past 6 months.
I personally would heavily encourage people to post more job advertisements on the Forum, and let users vote on them, especially roles at extremely impact-oriented orgs like Training for Good.
Is your experience as a user decreased by the current top-level posts advertising jobs?
I mostly agree with Lorenzo, with caveats.
We've got an official policy on this. From that:
If we end up with a bunch of job listings and/or we start hearing that there are issues due to the job listings, we could change our approach — e.g. by limiting or discouraging listings, limiting where they're shown (more likely), creating separate spaces for them (something I think we should explore), or something else.
The other thing I'd note is that I think job ~advertisements go better (get more engagement, bring value to people not looking for the job) when they're combined with other content/information, like some explanation of why you're hiring, what your strategy is, an update on what you do, etc. This means that people who aren't interested in the jobs could also get something out of the post, and you might also get more applicants because the post gets more karma (so more people will see it) and because some people who come for the content are also interested in the jobs (this is probably truer for some jobs than for others).
(I should caveat that I wrote the above quickly (besides the policy excerpt), and without input from others.)
Just echoing the others that I like job listings - I've often applied for things because I saw them advertized on the Forum (or sent them to others who were looking)
