Financing models in the public sector include various examples from past to present, and especially in the welfare state and the New Public Management (NPM) phases that developed afterwards, options suitable for the economic and ideological orientations of the period was formulated. Public-Private Partnership (PPP) projects, based on collaboration between public and private sectors, are also important examples that have emerged especially in recent years. However, approaches such as New Public Service and New Public Governance that developed after NPM include public service and policy proposals that emphasize citizen participation. Likewise, a financing model proposal that can be considered an alternative to the NPM and the PPP model was proposed by Ömer Demirdaş under the name of Public-Citizen Partnership (PCP) and a financing model that emphasizes citizen participation in public investments was advocated. This study aims to close the deficiencies of the relevant proposal in terms of the functioning of the financing structure and administrative functions and to contribute to enhance the model.In this respect, it is argued that crowdfunding that has become widespread in recent years might be applied in the public sector to create a framework suitable for citizen participation and that progress can be made in the creation and implementation of public projects with the “Public Enterprise Companies” to be established. It is suggested that PCP model, which will be improved in terms of finance and administration, has significant potential in developing state-society relations and highlighting citizen participation in public finance. In this context, in the first sections, PCP will be compared with past models and practices, and then the financial and managerial content of PCP will be presented based on relevant legal and administrative regulations and examples in Türkiye. Finally, possible cases for implementation of PCP model will be put forward and how the model can be put into practice will be shown.
