Hey team! Late comment but really curious about this:
Counterfactual: We estimated the counterfactual factor, the part of donations received that have happened as a result of our work, at 0.5 → Now, our best guess is 0.64
This seems very high versus how GWWC attributed their counterfactual impact of a pledge (at least when I went through their Pledge Advocacy programme last year, they tentatively recommended a factor of 0.2)
Also, given a factor of 0.5 or 0.64, I’m not sure how accurate this statement follows: “50% / 64% of the decision-making of the pledger had not come from the pledger, but rather through active outreach and influence of Mieux Donner”. I’m probably wrong. How would I interpret this factor more accurately? :)
The counterfactual impact of a pledge follows GWWC’s recommendations for pledge partners; we haven’t evaluated it ourselves, but yes it’s closer to 0.2.
The “0.64” figure doesn’t refer to pledges but to donations. It’s much higher than GWWC’s, but lower than Ayuda Efectiva’s (in Spain), which can be explained by the larger number of actors in the English-speaking ecosystem compared to the French or Spanish ones.
For donations, you could say:
“50% / 64% of the money donated was the result of Mieux Donner’s active outreach and influence.”
