Behind the scenes at the UK’s philanthropy clubs | Voluntary Sector Network | Guardian Professional

Behind the scenes at the UK’s philanthropy clubs | Voluntary Sector Network | Guardian Professional: "I’m here to learn more about “giving clubs”, a US phenomenon which is growing in popularity in the UK. Broadly speaking, people get together to socialise, learn about different charities and donate some money.

The format at The Funding Network events is like Dragon’s Den: four charities have six minutes each to present their pitch. They say how much money they would like and what for. Each pitch is followed by six minutes of questions. At the end of the pitches the charities leave the room and the pledging session begins."
