Here is the CEA website - but it's just a stub linking to the others.

The important part is whether the other charities are linking to CEA. Or at least acknowledge its existence. And cooperation.

As an example of what may be wrong, look at this website: "www.ombudsmaninternational.com". It has a "Donate" button and links to many important organizations. But it's (almost certainly) a scam.

Can you clarify the question? The other charities all have legal text on their websites saying (for example):

"80,000 Hours is part of the Centre for Effective Altruism, a charitable company limited by guarantee registered in England and Wales, number 7962181. Centre for Effective Altruism, Oxford Uehiro Centre for Practical Ethics, Littlegate House, St Ebbes Street, Oxford OX1 1PT, UK"

Then it's OK. (And would be even better if the text contained a hyperlink to the CEA website.)
