Abstract
Fundraising is essential to the voluntary sector. Giving clubs, where donors are publicly recognised for a gift at a specific level, are prolific in the context of university and arts fundraising to support giving. However, there is little known about their role in other cause areas. This paper examines giving clubs in UK health and disability charities and explores the benefits and challenges they offer to fundraisers working in UK nonprofit organisations.
