I’ve been compiling a list of effective organizations by cause area. I could sort the lists by:
global health
poverty reduction
global catastrophic and existential risk
policy reform and institutional change
animal welfare, rights, and liberation
scientific and breakthrough research
rationality and coordination
synthetic meat and meat substitutes
effective altruism companies
metacharity and philanthropic infrastructure
Some of the causes on this list are relatively close to one another, and there are some organizations which overlap between them, so two or more could be collapsed into a single list or category. I’ve been thinking additional newsletters in addition to the main one published here could be constructed. This could be useful for effective altruists who have selected a particular cause, but also for activists or interested parties in the cause outside of the EA community, which could in turn inject greater awareness of effectiveness into those movements. For example, there are plenty of people interested in philanthropy, poverty reduction, policy reform, systemic change, animal activism, transhumanism, or existential risk reduction who aren’t part of effective altruism. Each of those communities might benefit from a mailing list, or hub of any kind, seeking effective programs on those causes. Let me know if there’d be interest in constructing one of those, and I can help construct them the same way I helped with the initial design of the EA newsletter.
Of course, that could add up to a lot of newsletters, so we could set them up, and then hand them off to an organization which can better use them. For example, one about effective animal activism could be handed off to Animal Charity Evaluators to run on their own, or one about GCRs and x-risk reduction could be handed off to FLI, CSER, or FHI.
