I’m not sure I’d say EA Foundation “runs” CLR and REG. Maybe something like “The Effective Altruism Foundation is a nonprofit based in London. Its projects have included the Center on Long-Term Risk and Raising for Effective Giving” would be more accurate (though also more vague)?
I also think it’s legally based in Switzerland, but London might be most accurate anyway since that’s where its staff are.
