bankrolling

Putting up money

Bankrolling is providing the money for something—funding a project, venture, or person's activities.

The term suggests being the primary financial backer: Who's bankrolling this operation?

It can imply questionable arrangements: a politician bankrolled by special interests.

The image is of someone with a fat roll of bills making things happen.
