subsidize
Help pay for
To subsidize is to provide financial support, typically from a government or institution, to reduce costs or keep something viable: The government subsidizes public transportation.
The term often implies that something couldn't survive on its own merits: Taxpayers subsidize the failing industry.
More loosely, to subsidize is to offset someone else's expenses: My salary basically subsidizes his hobbies.
