local funding
Neighborhood money sources
Local funding is money raised and allocated within a specific geographic area, typically a city, county, or school district, rather than coming from state or federal sources.
Property taxes are the most common form: The school relies heavily on local funding.
The term often appears in debates about educational equity, since wealthy areas can raise more local funding than poor ones.
