I may be able to write a CUDA based miner.
I haven't spent very much time looking at zcash/equihash yet, and won't be able to for a few weeks yet.
I would need to look into this more before I provide a quote

A GPU miner for Zcash will get released to the public eventually. and you will need a serious amount of Bitcoin in order to get someone to code one for you.
I might be interested. I've done a bunch of work on ethminer in the past:
https://github.com/nerdralph/ethminer-nr/tree/110
I was already researching zcash/equihash, and communicated with Alex Biryukov about the Equihash paper.
I can write OpenCL, but not CUDA. Even though they are similar, I'm not interested in doing CUDA code.
I'd need at least 10 BTC to write it.

I would most certainly like to be involved in this. In order to do it right - I would suggest perhaps trying to find a few developers and see what they would charge.
Tromp, Wolf0 and I can't think of the other two I remember (one was the guy who built the Monero miner).
People are super non committal - but I would be happy to pay significantly more for a closed miner as long as the money was held in ESCROW by a reputable BTT member.

Is it not risky to commit to this? According to the zcash team the algo could change in the future which may or may not allow GPU mining.
I want to start a crowdsale to help developing a GPU-miner for Zcash, rules are as below, kindly let me know your opinion.
1. All of the money will go to the guy who developed a GPU-miner for Zcash
2. Every participate will donate 0.2 BTC, when miner is ready, every participate will get a copy of the miner, this miner will NOT go to public
3. These BTC will go to a trustworthy escrow, when miner is okay then it will go to the developer
4. Miner should be released before Zcash first version release.
