Ideal funder

I'm not sure if there's even one grantee on Earth that satisfies following criteria

There are currently very non-profit funders for public advocacy around AI risk. Most large funders are funding alignment researchers and US policymakers, in order to make societal changes while keeping most of humanity out of the decision-making process. I don't have a moral problem with this strategy but I think it has high probability of failure, and that public advocacy is more likely to succeed than this strategy.
