Hey Ozy, thanks for compiling this list! I work on Manifund (https://manifund.org/) and wanted to submit ourselves for your consideration. We're a newer org, started as of Feb 2023, and so far have moved ~$3m, to a mix of AI Safety, other longtermist, and broader EA causes. A (long) writeup about the programs we've been running is here: https://manifund.substack.com/p/manifund-2023-in-review
We're less of a standard fund, and more of a platform where individual projects can ask for funding, but we do run a yearly AI Safety regranting program with $1-2m dollars allocated to regrantors like Evan Hubinger, Dan Hendrycks, Leopold Aschenbrenner, and Adam Gleave. We also try to move fast and act transparently (eg you can see all of our grant applications directly on our site, we're open source, etc). Happy to answer more questions too!
Warning for anyone considering giving to a Giving What We Can fund: I donated to the END Fund once. Years later, it was acquired by GWWC. GWWC has been spamming me ever since.
Therefore, I recommend 1) avoiding GWWC entirely, to punish this behaviour, or 2) using a spam-trap email address.
Thanks for writing this! I learned a few things that will probably change my donations after some more research (GWWC doesn't recommend ACE, there are other animal charity funds that they do recommend, and there are some GCR funds that don't require you to buy into strong longtermism).
Do you know if there's data on total donations to the funds in the previous year? Could be helpful to get a feel for which areas are more neglected.
