[extropy-chat] Draft List of "Transhumanist" Themed Charities

[Matus]

I suggest www.lifeboat.com for either 'future studies' or 'space
migration'

"The Lifeboat Foundation is a nonprofit, nongovernmental organization,
dedicated to providing solutions that will safeguard humanity from the
growing threat of terrorism and technological cataclysm. This
humanitarian organization is pursuing all possible options, including
self-sustaining technologies using AI and nanotechnology, with an
emphasis on self-contained space arks."
