bankrollers
Those providing funds
Bankrollers are people or entities that provide financial backing for a venture, project, or person.
The term carries a whiff of behind-the-scenes influence—bankrollers fund things but often stay out of the spotlight: The film's bankrollers demanded script changes.
Political campaigns depend on wealthy bankrollers.
