Finanziert

Finanziert is the past participle of the German verb finanzieren, meaning to finance or provide funding. It denotes that money or other resources have been provided for a project, activity, or organization. In everyday language it is used both as a finite verb form and, more commonly, as an adjective describing the funding status of something.

As a verb form, finanziert appears in combinations such as "hat finanziert" or "wird finanziert" to describe actions in different tenses and voices. In perfect forms the auxiliary haben is used: "Wir haben das Projekt finanziert." In passive constructions the form appears as part of a passive past: "Das Projekt ist finanziert worden." The word does not take the ge- prefix in its participle, unlike many other German participles.

As an adjective, finanziert modifies a noun to indicate that funding has already been provided. Examples include "ein finanziertes Projekt" or "finanzierte Mittel." When used with prepositional phrases, common collocations are "finanziert durch" or "finanziert von," meaning funded by. The related noun is Finanzierung, which used in contexts such as Finanzierungskosten (financing costs) or Finanzierungshilfe (financing aid).

Usage context often reveals the source of funds, for example public funding, grants, sponsorship, or private investment. Terms like fremdfinanziert (financed with external funds) and eigenfinanziert (self-financed) describe different funding structures. Finanziert thus plays a central role in discussions of budgeting, project planning, and resource allocation in economics, research, and public administration.
