financial contributions

Funds given voluntarily

Financial contributions are money given to support a cause, organization, or effort.

The phrase often appears in political contexts, where it may euphemistically describe donations that carry expectations of influence or access: The senator's votes aligned suspiciously with her financial contributions.

More neutrally, it covers dues, donations, and monetary support of any kind: Members are expected to make regular financial contributions.
