High Impact Professionals supported 8 EAs to run fundraising drives at their workplace in 2021, raising $240k in counterfactual dollars. On an hourly basis, organizing those events proved to be as impactful as direct work
Could you share the numbers you used to calculate this? I.e. how many hours to organise an event, counterfactual dollars per hour organising/running events, and your estimate for the value per hour of direct work?
Pulling out the relevant part as a quote for other readers:
On average, it took about 25 hours to organize and run a campaign (20 hours by organizers and 5 hours by HIP).
The events generated an average of 786 USD per hour of counterfactual donations to effective charities.
This makes fundraising campaigns a very cost effective means of counterfactual impact; as a comparison, direct work that generates 1,000,000 USD of impact equivalent per year equates to around 500 USD per hour.
Great results so far!
