Private money always wants a return on investment in greater monetary gain... They tend to avoid or abandon projects that lose them money in the short term. That's business sense.
Public funds come with the understanding that we are gaining in immaterial ways such as the increased safety of neighborhoods that have been cleaned up, the happiness of a family with a new home, and the goodwill of city residents who appreciate what these organizations are working to provide. I happily fund such projects knowing that my investment leads to public benefit.
