There’s a subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/EffectiveAltruism/
I think the comments aren’t exactly what you’d get on this forum but some of them are helpful and accurate.
Here are lists or courses that I collected that I’m too lazy to reconcile with the above:

* orgs have a more complete picture of their funding need, donation matching opportunities, maybe you’d benefit from something like donating stock which may have some overhead you don’t want to repeat, you have the most information available, evaluators have put out their new recommendations, …
The Effective Institutions Project might count as this. There may be more relevant projects, depending on what counts—like the Simon Institute for Longterm Governance, the Center for Election Science.

I don’t want to imply that this must be a barrier to action, but how much time have you spent digging in to questions relevant to cause prioritization? Your priorities might change as you investigate more.
