monetary assistance

Funds given freely

Monetary assistance is financial help given to individuals, organizations, or governments, typically to address hardship or fund specific purposes.

The phrase appears in formal contexts—government programs, international aid, charitable giving: The agency provides monetary assistance to low-income families.

Distinguished from in-kind assistance, which supplies goods or services rather than money.
