Funding

Funding is to provide resources, usually in form of money (Financing), or other values such as effort or time, for a project, a person, a business or any other private or public institutions. When a request for funding is made then fundraising is being attempted.

Those funds can be allocated for either short term or long term purposes. The health fund is a new way of funding private healthcare centers.
