Project Funding
Noun · Open Source
Definitions
The money or financial support that sustains a project's maintenance, development, infrastructure, or contributors. In open-source culture, project funding is a constant concern because useful widely used work is often underfunded relative to its impact.
In plain English: The financial support that helps sustain a project.
Example: "The maintainers were candid that project funding, not technical ambition, was the main reason several long-requested reliability improvements had not happened yet."
