公共产品的私人提供者，如慈善机构，总是招募筹款人组织和收集捐款。在慈善筹款中常见的是种子资金，无论是来自政府赠款还是来自一群“领导捐赠者”，这些资金启动了基金活动，并产生了额外的捐赠。本文为慈善事业的筹款者和种子提供了理论依据。主要的假设是，在低水平的公共产品供应下，存在一系列收益递增。这表明，筹款人有一个自然的和重要的作用，有时只有少量的种子资金可以成长为一个实质性的慈善机构。
Private providers of public goods, such as charities, invariably enlist fund-raisers to organize and collect contributions. Common in charitable fund-raising is seed money, either from a government grant or from a group of "leadership givers," that launches the fund drive and generates additional gifts. This paper provides a theoretical basis for fund-raisers and seeds to charity. The primary assumption is that there is a range of increasing returns at low levels of provision of the public good. It is shown that fund-raisers have a natural and important role, and that some times only a small amount of seed money can grow into a substantial charity.
