Definition
赞助 means 'to sponsor' — it always involves providing financial or material support for an event, project, or organization. Unlike 支援 (general support or aid) or 援助 (formal/official assistance), 赞助 is specifically about backing activities or causes, often with public recognition. 资助 is a close synonym but focuses more on long-term financial aid to individuals or institutions rather than events.
