You can see in the donations by cause area a breakdown of the causes pledge and non-pledge donors give to. This could potentially inform a multiplier for the particular cause areas. I don’t think we considered doing this, and am not sure it’s something we’ll do in future, but we’d be happy to see others’ do this using the information we provide.
Unfortunately, we don’t have a strong sense in how we influenced which causes donors gave to; the only thing that comes to mind is our question: “Please list your best guess of up to three organisations you likely would *not* have donated to if Giving What We Can, or its donation platform, did not exist (i.e. donations where you think GWWC has affected your decision)” the results of which you can find on page 19 of our survey documentation here. Only an extremely small sample of non-pledge donors responded to the question, though. Getting a better sense of our influence here, as well as generally analysing trends in which cause areas our donors give to, is something we’d like to explore in our future impact evaluations.
Thanks :)!
