公共产品的私人提供者，如慈善机构，总是招募筹款人来组织和收集捐款。在资本竞选期间，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。本文为慈善募捐者提供了理论依据和种子。私人提供公共产品的标准模型中加入的主要假设只是慈善机构有固定成本。由此可见，募捐者有一个自然和重要的作用，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 a fundraiser to organize and collect contributions. Common in charitable fundraising during capital campaigns 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 fundraisers and seeds to charity. The primary assumption that is added to the standard model of privately provided public goods is simply that the charity has fixed costs. With this it is shown that fundraisers have a natural and important role, and that sometimes only a small amount of seed money can grow into a substantial charity.
