Thanks for making this! Readers might also find my Database of orgs relevant to longtermist/x-risk work useful. That builds on this (among other things), but includes many orgs not featured here and includes additional info in a database format, though focusing only on orgs relevant to longtermist/x-risk work.
For convenience, I’ll quote the first part of the post below:
“Here’s a version of the database that you filter and sort however you wish, and here’s a version you can add comments to.
The titular database includes >130 organizations that are relevant to people working on longtermism- or existential-risk-related issues, along with info on:
The extent to which they’re focused on longtermism/x-risks
How involved in the EA community they are
Whether they’re still active
Whether they aim to make/influence funding, policy, and/or career decisions
Whether they produce research
What causes/topics they focus on
What countries they’re based in
How much money they influence per year and how many employees they have[1]
I aimed for (but likely missed) comprehensive coverage of orgs that are substantially focused on longtermist/x-risk-related issues and are part of the EA community.
I also included various orgs that are relevant despite being less focused on longtermism/x-risks and/or not being part of the EA community. But one could in theory include at least hundreds of such orgs, whereas I just included a pretty arbitrary subset of the ones I happen to know of.
I made this relatively quickly, based it partly on memory & guesswork, and see it as a minimum viable product that can be improved on over time. So please:
If you spot any errors or if you know any relevant info I failed to mention about these orgs, let me know via an EA Forum message or via following this link and then commenting there
Let me know if you have questions about how best to use the database or how to interpret parts of it. (I expect many things will turn out to be confusing/unclear, and I’m relying on people to ask questions.)
Here’s a snippet of what the database looks like (from the “view” focused on “Funders/funding-influencers”):
I made this database and wrote this post in a personal capacity, not as a representative of my employers.”

Key points
I’m addicted to creating collections and have struck once more.

Fill in this quick form if you know of other orgs worth mentioning.
