Did the people who donated to the fundraiser know this? If not, it seems a bit disingenuous.
I think that’s OK, because that’s the way matches often work in the non-EA world, and the important thing is that they motivate greater donations by the matchees. For example, that happens with the people Charity Science fundraises from, who are generally not EAs and so don’t think in terms of counterfactuals.
