The offer from the "anonymous donor," presented by the president, was accepted by the Orchestra Association. A subscription to an endowment fund was shortly afterward begun; and the amount had been brought to eight hundred thousand dollars when the Great War interrupted any further additions. In the autumn of 1919, however, a city-wide campaign for an addition of one million dollars to the endowment fund was launched. The amount was not only secured, but over-subscribed. Thus, instead of a guarantee fund, contributed by thirteen hundred subscribers, with the necessity for annual collection, an endowment fund of one million eight hundred thousand dollars, contributed by fourteen thousand subscribers, has been secured; and the Philadelphia Orchestra has been promoted from a privately maintained organization to a public institution in which fourteen thousand residents of Philadelphia feel a proprietary interest. It has become in fact, as well as in name, "our orchestra."

白话

匿名捐赠者的提议被接受,基金募集启动,一战后继续,最终募到180万美元,来自1.4万认购者,远超原计划。乐团从私人维持的组织变成公共机构,1.4万费城人觉得自己有份,真正成了“我们的乐团”。这说明好的制度设计能激发广泛参与,把少数人的责任变成多数人的归属。

上下文

费城交响乐团通过公众募捐建立永久基金,博克的匿名担保计划成功。

今日一问
