If you have limited time to investigate / work with, I’d probably recommend either the LTFF or choosing a regranter you like at Manifund.
If you have a fair bit more time, and ideally the expectation of more money in the future, then I think a lot of small-to-medium (1-10 employee) organizations can use some long-term, high-touch donors. Honestly this may settle more down to fit / relationships than identifying the absolute best org—as long as it’s funded by one of the groups listed above or OP, as money itself is a bit fungible between orgs.
I think a lot of nonprofits have surprisingly few independent donors, or even strong people that can provide decent independent takes. I might write more about this later.
(That said, there are definitely ways to be annoying / a hindrance, as an active donor, so try to be really humble here if you are new to this)
(For longtermism)
