funds

Money you have

Funds are money available for a particular purpose.

Organizations maintain funds for operations, emergencies, or specific projects: The charity's funds were running low.

To fund something is to provide money for it: The grant funded her research.

Someone who is well-funded has ample financial resources.

In the plural, funds often simply means available money: I don't have the funds right now.
