Could you clarify how this is a new chapter? From a cursory look at the website, it looks fairly similar to other efforts that prompt people to send their donations to more impactful causes rather than less impactful causes (such as The Life You Can Save, GiveWell, or Giving What We Can). Could you describe a bit what is novel or distinct about Do Good Movement? Is the main differentiation the idea of tracking?
You are very right that the causes and charities are no different than other EA platforms.
We believe this to be a new chapter for charity donations for the part of the donor-market who are not familiar with EA. By improving the overall donor experience we believe we can reach new people who would love to start donating but lack a tailored, optimized donor experience.
Currently, we are launching our MVP but during the coming months and years we have ambitious plans to bring the experience into another league.
