This is far from a comprehensive or fully vetted list, but here are some ideas off the top of my head on the improving institutional decision-making front:
The Alliance for Useful Evidence
The UK What Works Centres/Evidence Quarter, particularly the What Works Centre for Wellbeing
Society for Judgment and Decision-Making
Society of Decision Professionals
Behavioural Insights Team and ideas42 (mentioned below by Mati)
Campbell Collaboration (research syntheses of social science literature)
Cochrane (research syntheses of medical literature)
CEDIL (Centre of Excellence for Development Impact and Learning)
Project Evident
Hubbard Decision Research
Strategic Decisions Group
Of these, most operate on a fee-for-service model and wouldn’t necessarily be able to make good use of individual donations in the, say, $5k-and-under range. However, I believe that Alliance for Useful Evidence and Campbell Collaboration specifically operate on shoestring budgets and are mostly funded by contributed income, so I’d check into those first if you’re considering a donation.
FYI, the improving institutional decision-making (IIDM) coordinating group within EA is working on a resource directory that will eventually be able to answer questions like these in greater detail. We’ll be posting more about that on the EA Forum later this month.

@nlacombe, sounds like it might be a good idea to donate later instead of now then:) (or just donate to your own Donor-Advised Fund for now).
