1. It can be overwhelming to figure out where and how to help. This post has a number of suggestions. I'm also going to add, things like helping a small non-profit file their taxes or learn how to use spreadsheets better may not be the stuff they make movies about, but if those are skills you have, you sharing them can make a huge difference. Bonus can often be done at least partially remotely.
