In particular, the suggestion to “1) Give a small donation ($20) to a charity in each major cause area, especially the ones you’ve never donated to before.”
Previously, I followed the advice by donating small dollar amounts to a couple other organizations working to help animals (the Good Food Institute and the Wild Animal Initiative). While these acts haven’t (yet) caused me to change which cause area I make the bulk of my donations to, I’ve noticed that they seem to have had some effect on me psychologically, making me more open to seriously considering making substantial donations to these organizations/cause areas.
I’ve found the advice of this post useful.

I just acted on this advice by giving $20 to a group of Democrat senate campaigns which David Shor considers “the races where I think the marginal *small dollar donation* will go the furthest.” This was my first political donation (besides a $1 donation in February to Yang’s campaign that allegedly helped bring him to the debates.)
