I'm going to nominate manifold markets and I encourage them to apply. Not only is it a better metaculus, it's metaculus for money that can be redeemed for charity.

Do you have an idea for a project, or run an existing project, startup, or organization that could one day have a big positive impact on the future of the world? Apply now to our brand new Clearer Thinking Regrants program!
We plan to award grants to around 20 selected altruistic projects (depending on the quality and relevance of submissions we receive).
Grants will be a minimum of $10,000 per project, up to a conceivable maximum of $500,000. These projects don’t have to relate to Clearer Thinking’s mission, they just have to be aimed at improving the future!
We have designed the first round of the application to be completed in a single sitting of just 20 minutes.
If you know of any projects, non-profits, or startups that aim to improve the future of the world, regardless of which stage they’re in, please share the application form with them.
We want to hear about as many great projects as we can! Applications are now open! Apply by 11:59pm Eastern Time July 15th, 2022.

If the above applies to your idea or project, we encourage you to apply now!
As inspiration, here are some project areas that we'd be excited to give grants in (but we're potentially interested in ideas that are totally unlike these as well):
