overfunding

Too much capital

Overfunding is providing more money than needed or requested.

Crowdfunding campaigns may become overfunded when donations exceed the goal: The project was overfunded by 300%.

In finance, overfunding a pension means contributing more than actuarial requirements.

The term can suggest poor planning or unexpected success, depending on context.
