Definition
补助 (bǔ zhù) means 'to subsidize' or 'subsidy' — financial support from a government or organization for a specific purpose. It is similar to 补贴 (bǔ tiē), but 补贴 often refers to a supplementary allowance (e.g., housing, travel). 资助 (zī zhù) is more about sponsoring or funding a project or person, while 援助 (yuán zhù) is formal aid in emergencies or development.
