Formed in 1978, HRW is known for its accurate fact-finding, evenhanded reporting, effective use of media, and targeted advocacy, often conducted jointly with other human rights groups
https://www.aclu.org/bio/human-rights-watch#:~:text=Formed%20in%201978%2C%20HRW%20is,with%20other%20human%20rights%20groups.
It also has a 97% on charity navigator, which I assume means something.

Human Rights Campaign
Leading the fight for LGBTQ+ rights.
Weve spent 40 years creating the most powerful movement for equality our country has ever seen. But despite this progress, our most marginalized are still suffering from violence, discrimination and fear. Our goal is to ensure that all LGBTQ+ people, and particularly those of us who are trans, people of color and HIV+, are treated as full and equal citizens within our movement, across our country and around
