Public goods provision is in most cases part of governmental activities.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Kingma|first=Bruce R.|date=1997|title=Public good theories of the non-profit sector: Weisbrod revisited|url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/27927560|journal=Voluntas: International Journal of Voluntary and Nonprofit Organizations|volume=8|issue=2|pages=135–148|doi=10.1007/BF02354191|jstor=27927560|s2cid=154163089|issn=0957-8765}}</ref> In the introductory section of his book, ''Public Good Theories of the Nonprofit Sector'', [[Bruce Kingma|Bruce R. Kingma]] stated that; <blockquote>In the Weisbrod model nonprofit organizations satisfy a demand for public goods, which is left unfilled by government provision. The government satisfies the demand of the median voters and therefore provides a level of the public good less than some citizens'-with a level of demand greater than the median voter's-desire. This unfilled demand for the public good is satisfied by nonprofit organizations. These nonprofit organizations are financed by the donations of citizens who want to increase the output of the public good.<ref>{{Citation|last=Kingma|first=Bruce R.|title=Public Good Theories of the Nonprofit Sector|date=2003|url=https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4615-0131-2_3|work=The Study of the Nonprofit Enterprise: Theories and Approaches|pages=53–65|editor-last=Anheier|editor-first=Helmut K.|series=Nonprofit and Civil Society Studies|place=Boston, MA|publisher=Springer US|language=en|doi=10.1007/978-1-4615-0131-2_3|isbn=978-1-4615-0131-2|access-date=2020-10-28|editor2-last=Ben-Ner|editor2-first=Avner}}</ref>          </blockquote>
