subsidizing
Helping pay for
Subsidizing is providing financial support to reduce costs or keep prices low.
Governments subsidize industries, services, or goods deemed beneficial or essential: The state is subsidizing renewable energy projects.
The term often carries political weight, implying that something couldn't survive market forces alone: Critics argue we're subsidizing failure.
