although to be fair, longtermism and infinitarianism reasoning often suggest the same courses of actions in our world, I have the impression
Short-termism is to longtermism what longtermism is to infinitarianism.
FYI, the improving institutional decision-making (IIDM) coordinating group within EA is working on a resource directory that will eventually be able to answer questions like these in greater detail.
@nlacombe, sounds like it might be a good idea to donate later instead of now then:) (or just donate to your own Donor-Advised Fund for now).
I don’t know, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the first 2 didn’t have room for more funding
I don’t know. I don’t know these 3 organizations, I just saw them in the post.
I don’t know. You can contact them: https://quantifieduncertainty.org/contact/ And if they don’t want donations (yet), Ozzie might be able to recommend another organization has ze has a great understanding of the landscape of prediction platforms.

When should you use lotteries?
In 80,000 Hours’ post on Improving institutional decision-making, they also mention:
Behavioural Insights Team: a behavioural science consultancy
Ideas42: a behavioural science consultancy
HyperMind: an organisation focused on wider adoption of prediction markets
I’ve answered for now, but let me know if you create another question so that I move my answer
Institutional decision making
Updated: 2020-12-08
Note: I document this here: https://causeprioritization.org/Mechanism_and_institution_design (I might not keep this answer up-to-date, so check out the link)
Note: I don’t have the impression The Good Judgement Project has room for more funding. I like what the people behind QURI have been doing (I’ve been following their work). Disclaimer: I was contracted by both groups, and could be again.
Also, documented here: https://causeprioritization.org/Forecasting :
Metaculus (is for-profit I think)
Note: I don’t know if any of those organizations have room for more funding.
Global coordination
Note: I document this here: https://causeprioritization.org/Global_coordination (I might not keep this answer up-to-date, so check out the link)
Note: Inclusion in the list doesn’t mean endorsement. I love GCF, but I don’t have the impression they need more funding. I feel good about the Good Country. I don’t know the other 2 well.
my experience from EAGxBoston is that most people don’t know about global coordination and only know about improving institutional decision making also I feel like they are related and I feel like there is not many organizations on both size do you disagree?
I don’t know. Depends where you draw the boundaries.
if you agree, would you still split?
yes
Hummm, seems to me like it would be better to ask a question for institutional decision making and another question for global coordination, no? if you agree, you can edit it and post another:)
That’s awesome, good work! :)
oh, of course, for-profit charities are a thing! that makes sense
I learned about it in “Economics without Illusion”, chapter 8.
it’s not because your organization’s product/service/goal is to help other people and your customers are philanthropists that you can’t make a profit.
profitable charities might increase competition to provide more effective altruism, and so still provide more value even though it makes a profit (maybe)

I can’t find the donate button on FundersPledge. Do you have no more room for additional funding?
That’s a complicated way of saying “I don’t think it works” 0_o
