The summary says the donations are âcounterfactually matchedâ, but I donât see anything about this in the bodyâwould you be up for saying more?
The pool is already created and will be distributed according to where the first people donate. I think thatâs similar to the facebook giving Tuesday in terms of how counterfactual it is: the funds will go to some charity and you can influence which one.
Seems like itâs counterfactual in the same sense as the Facebook match: all of this money is going to charities one way or another, but mostly wonât go to charities EAs find plausible so youâre moving money from some random charity to something you think is especially good.
I indeed meant that itâs counterfactual in the sense davidc and gcmn mentioned, i.e. the same sense as Facebookâs Giving Tuesday matches, namely that the matching funds are available for any 501(c)(3) nonprofit, so by donating you can redirect the matching funds from the nonprofits that others who might participate in this support to nonprofits that will use the money more cost-effectively. I.e. The money is not going to your chosen nonprofits regardlessâit will go to whatever nonprofits others who participate in this match donate to. (Possibly it wonât all be spent, in which case Iâd guess itâd roll over to future Every.org giveaways or be returned to the funder or something, but Iâd be surprised if it wasnât all used up by the end of the month.)

(Same comment as gcmm posted at the same time⌠Wonât delete mine but itâs basically a duplicate.)
