Giving behavior is the one of important factors in modern economics. However, technical approaches to the giving behavior have not been accomplished as its importance. Specially, fund-raising part, the demand side of giving behavior is just on elementary level.This thesis is for proposing a strategy that can raise fund more efficiently. We checked, first, whether the seed money from leadership group which is suggested by Andreoni(1998) can drive efficient fund or not, based on the Marx and Mattews’ model(2000). According to Andreoni, as long as a leader group donates more than a certain level, it is a Nash equilibrium that the public donates the rest of the money voluntarily. However, as we put the conclusion into Marx and Mattews’ model and extended to a dynamic surrounding, the seed money played no role unless donations make additional benefit jump at the last stage, where the fund is completed.A strategy this thesis suggests is to make a benefit jump using seed money. Namely, any fund-raisers can give incentive in that a leadership group will donate a certain amount of money provided that the public donates the rest of the money, then the seed money itself can play a role as a benefit jump so that Nash equilibrium can be accomplished.Another thing that we have analyzed is how the fund-raising strategy can be changed under the condition that people have warm-glow preference. If some people have warm-glow preference so that they donate money regardless of the size of direct benefit, fund-raisers can gather the money and use it as seed money, which means Nash equilibrium in fund-raising can be accomplished again by the same logic.
