MichaelA🔸 comments on Database of orgs relevant to longtermist/​x-risk work

[MichaelA🔸]

I suggested as one possible next step “People could duplicate and then adapt this database in order to make [a] version that’s relevant to all EA cause areas”

I think such a database has now been made! (Though I’m not sure if that was done by duplicating & adapting my one.) Specifically, Michel Justen has made A Database of EA Organizations & Initiatives. I imagine this’d be useful to some people who find their way to this post.*

Here’s the summary section of their post, for convenience:

“I’ve created a new database of EA organizations and initiatives that I host on the recently revamped EA Opportunities page. Here’s the raw Airtable.

• I think this is the most comprehensive collection of organizations in or closely involved with EA to date. It features orgs explicitly within or adjacent to EA, as well as a non-comprehensive list of other orgs working on global catastrophic risks, even if they have little involvement with EA. As of writing this, there are 276 organizations in this database. Of these, 130 are labeled as “Part of EA community” and the rest are labeled as either “aware of and friendly to EA” or uninvolved.

• I still recommend this database as the most valuable database of organizations doing longtermist/​x-risk work given its more comprehensive indicators for how orgs are aiming to reduce x-risk.

• If you see any mistakes in this database, please let us know. You can also submit new organizations.”

*I guess I should flag that I haven’t looked closely at Michel’s post or database, so can’t personally vouch for its accuracy, comprehensiveness, etc.
