private funding
Capital from individuals
Private funding is financial support from non-governmental sources—individuals, corporations, foundations, or venture capitalists rather than public institutions or taxpayers.
The research center relies on private funding from tech billionaires.
The term often contrasts with government grants or public financing: When federal funding dried up, they sought private funding to continue the project.
