From a policy, practice, and theoretical perspective, this article promotes the use of the nonprofit to lessen the financial burden on government in advancing the wellbeing of the general public. The burden in this article is the cost of providing critical physical infrastructure for the benefit of an entire population or jurisdiction. How can the nonprofit materially lessen this financial burden? How may the trade-off between government agency appropriations and tax expenditures to nonprofits favor the use of a nonprofit? What about accountability to citizens and to government-why is this not an obstacle? Why is the nonprofit a versatile design for the provision of infrastructure either singularly or in any combination of public- private partnership? Why should this strategy be embraced if infrastructure requires a large upfront and continuous flow of cash and debt? Could this strategy bring infrastructure online quicker and at a lower government cost?

创建特殊目的的非营利组织以降低公共基础设施的成本

从政策、实践和理论的角度，本文提倡利用非营利组织来减轻政府在促进公众福祉方面的财政负担。本文中的负担是为整个人口或司法管辖区的利益提供关键物理基础设施的成本。非营利组织如何才能实质性地减轻这种财务负担？政府机构拨款和对非营利组织的税收支出之间的权衡如何有利于非营利组织的使用？对公民和政府的责任又如何——为什么这不是障碍？为什么非营利组织是单一或以公私合作的任意组合提供基础设施的多功能设计？如果基础设施需要大量的前期和持续的现金和债务流动，为什么要采用这种策略？这种策略能否以更低的政府成本更快地使基础设施上线？
