I collected the most effective volunteerism/activism opportunities (actions) I could find and built a website called Doing Good Now, a one-stop shop for doing good, aiming to help people maximize their positive impact in minimized time. 

I think Effective Altruism's focus on philanthropy and careers is missing out on the room in people's free time for making a positive impact, even if that free time is constrained to only a couple of minutes.

I created Doing Good Now after learning about the Humane League's Fast Action Network (FAN), which makes animal advocacy effortless. It shocked me how much impact people can have in a minimal amount of time IF they are properly mobilized; the Humane League's campaigns often receive responses from the target, earning it a spot among Animal Charity Evaluators' recommended charities.

Moreover, think about all of the volunteer hours people altruistically spend on relatively low-impact ventures and how much more good they could achieve if their time were better optimized.

For example, think of all the volunteers handing water bottles to marathon runners and contrast them with the protesters at the Sunrise Movement, who are often credited as a serious cause of the Biden administration's landmark climate legislation.

Doing Good Now's offerings include recommendations for Animal Welfare, Global Health & Development, and Climate Change. It also aims to remedy EA's lack of political action, which is a problem because legislative change can yield a substantial impact. Doing Good Now includes these actions alongside charitable funds and newsletters. While Giving What We Can already offers a selection of highly-effective charitable funds, my research indicates a meaningful disparity in effectiveness between some of their recommendations. Hence, I found it worth providing a further distilled list.
