Executive summary: An analysis by the German/Swiss charity fundraising platform Effektiv Spenden finds that for every €1 they have spent since 2019, over €10 has gone to highly effective charities, with a best estimate of €17.90 over 2019-2021.
Key points:
Effektiv Spenden has raised €37 million for effective charities since 2019.
Their “leverage ratio” of funds raised to operational costs was 55.7x for 2019-2021 and 40.8x for 2020-2022.
Their estimated “counterfactual giving multiplier” was 17.9x for 2019-2021 and 13.0x for 2020-2022, meaning over €10 went to effective charities for every €1 they spent.
Growth investments have lowered short-term multiplier metrics but are expected to enable further fundraising growth.
Analysis has limitations and Effektiv Spenden aims to refine methodology and return multiplier to over 15x.
