सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
This expression grew out of the transparency movement in global science and journalism during the 1980s and 90s. It is designed to prevent 'hidden agendas' by forcing creators to reveal their financial ties. In English-speaking professional cultures, failing to list these sources is often seen as a serious ethical lapse or a 'scandal' in the making.
Placement Matters
In a written paper, always put this at the very end or in the first footnote. It's like the fine print that makes you look like a pro.
Don't Be Vague
If you use this phrase, you must follow it with specific names. Saying `Funding sources included various people` sounds suspicious and unprofessional.

What It Means
This phrase is a transparent way to say, 'Here is where the money came from.' In the world of research and big projects, money matters. It tells the audience if a study was paid for by a university, a government, or a private company. It is all about being honest. You are showing your cards so no one can accuse you of hiding a secret bias. Think of it as the 'credits' at the end of a movie, but specifically for the bank accounts involved.
How To Use It
You usually place this at the end of a report or during a presentation. It is often followed by a list of names. You can say, Funding sources included the National Science Foundation. It acts like a header for your financial disclosures. You do not need to be poetic here. Just be direct and accurate. If you got money from your grandma to start a blog, you could technically use it there too, though it might sound a bit too serious for a family dinner!
When To Use It
Use this when you are writing a formal paper or giving a professional update. It is perfect for academic journals or business proposals. If you are presenting a new app to investors, you use this to show who has already backed you. It builds trust. It shows you are organized and professional. It is also a legal requirement in many scientific fields. If you do not disclose your funding, you might get into big trouble later.
When NOT To Use It
Do not use this in casual conversation with friends. If you are buying a round of drinks, do not say, Funding sources included my recent tax refund. Your friends will think you have spent too much time in the office. Avoid it in romantic settings or casual texts. It is too 'stiff' for a birthday card. Also, if only one person paid, it is better to say Supported by instead of using the plural sources.
Cultural Background
In Western academia and journalism, 'follow the money' is a huge rule. People want to know if a study saying 'sugar is healthy' was paid for by a candy company. This phrase became a standard part of the 'Conflict of Interest' movement in the late 20th century. It is a tool for accountability. It reflects a culture that values transparency over secrecy. It is the polite, professional way to handle the awkward topic of money.
Common Variations
You might see Financial support provided by or Funded by. Some people use Sponsors included. If you want to sound even more formal, you can use Grant support was received from. However, Funding sources included is the gold standard for being clear and concise. It is the 'little black dress' of financial reporting—it always fits the occasion.
इस्तेमाल की जानकारी
This is a high-level C1 expression. It is strictly formal and should be reserved for professional writing, academic papers, and business presentations. Using it in casual speech will make you sound like a textbook.

The 'Conflict' Secret
In the US and UK, if you don't list your funding sources and people find out later, it can ruin your career. Transparency is a 'safety net' for your reputation.
