Abstract: Since the start of the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, there has been a rapid proliferation in the number of grassroots groups helping the troops and their families, many boasting considerable fundraising success.

Meanwhile, some suggest that the large number of these small charities may reduce efficiency, due to the redundancy of numerous groups doing the same work.
