How to say "funding" in Japanese
Choosing the right word
- 資金手当しきんてあてnounCovers the sense of funding as an action — financing something or making money available for it. This word is less common, so it is often not the natural choice for 'funding' in general contexts.
- 支援金しえんきんnounMatches 'funding' in the sense of money given as financial support — a support fund or subvention directed at a cause or recipient. Like the other entry, it is less common and suits support-oriented funding rather than financing generally.
Both are less common ways of rendering 'funding': 資金手当 is the act of making money available for something, while 支援金 refers to money given as financial support to a person, organization, or cause.
