Explanation
Funding means money provided for a special reason, often for a project, program, or organisation. It comes from people, companies, or governments to help activities begin or continue. For example, the school received funding to build a new library. Funding can support education, healthcare, business, or research. It’s related to the word fund, but this focuses more on the process or amount of money given to make something happen.
