subvention
This term describes a targeted financial injection, usually from a state authority, designed to sustain an entity that might otherwise struggle to remain viable or to encourage a specific social or economic outcome. It carries a formal, bureaucratic tone and is most frequently encountered in legal, diplomatic, or high-level economic discourse.
Because it refers to a specific allocation of funds, it is treated as a countable noun. To refer to the general concept of state support, one would typically use the uncountable term subsidy, whereas subvention refers to the individual grant or the act of granting the funds.
