.impact is a volunteer force of effective altruists which work on projects like this. At some point they were working on a map of all the effective altruists meetups. The map you’re proposing would be different. I want to clarify some things:
all organizations and projects
This might be so broad that it wouldn’t belong all on one chart. This could refer to one of many types of groups:
Charities supported by effective altruists, but aren’t central to effective altruism, per se, such as the Against Malaria Foundation, Give Directly, and Farm Sanctuary.
Getting them involved in such a project might be more difficult because these organizations are committed to their individual goals outside of effective altruism. I imagine for some we could get the data if we made an agreement not to abuse it, to ensure the data’s security, and effective altruists did all the work of visualizing it.
Effective altruist organizations, which tend to do advocacy, or research, such as the Centre for Effective Altruism, Givewell, and the Center for Applied Rationality.
Projects would include informal groups such as .impact, or formal collaborations between two organizations such as the Global Priorities Project. There are frequent temporary collaborations between, e.g., the Center For Applied Rationality, and Leverage Research, that are informal, so I don’t believe they would make it on this map.
For-profit enterprises started by effective altruists with the intent to donate a large portion of the profits, or owners’ salaries, to effective charities. There are definitely a few, though I don’t know much about them, so try asking about them in a separate comment thread.

Right.
My core intention is to help visualize the “playing field” of everything EA-related, to aid with:
Deciding the best meta-charities to fund
Visualizing relationships, and how certain organizations could act as force-multipliers for others
Strategizing co-ordination between orgs and perhaps whether the right people are in the right places
