This paper provides an introduction to the differential subsidization of private contributions to publicly-beneficial civic activities. It summarizes an economic case for differential subsidies as part of a fiscal system designed to increase social welfare, and then surveys the practices and criteria used by eight governments in applying such subsidies. Evaluating policies and programs for the subsidization of private contributions requires that they be assessed in their broader fiscal context – a task that warrants further research. Key words: charitable contributions; optimal taxation
