Subsidy
Effectively, a method of supporting a price. The government subsidizes prices when it allows goods to be sold at a price lower than the market price, by giving the seller the difference between the selling price and a viable one. The term subsidy is also used for a sum of money given by one person to another to help him over a difficult period.
