In the context of this post, I read “my contribution to good” to mean “good done that is clearly attributed to me” rather than “my counterfactual impact”.
Though I’d also usually think “my contribution” is my “counterfactual impact”, I still think this reframing (“I am maximizing how much good I do” to “I am maximizing how good the world is”) might be instrumentally very useful for feeling good about more indirect ways of having a counterfactual impact.
