emergency funding
Urgent financial aid
Emergency funding is money allocated or released urgently to address a crisis or unexpected need.
Governments provide emergency funding after natural disasters; organizations seek it when facing sudden shortfalls: The nonprofit secured emergency funding to keep its doors open.
The term implies both urgency and temporary measures—a bridge until normal resources become available.
