'Finanzmittel' is made up of 'Finanz' (finance) and 'Mittel' (means/resources). It therefore refers to resources in the form of money that can be used for a specific purpose.

The municipality needs additional funds to expand the kindergarten.
Common collocations include 'Finanzmittel bereitstellen' (to provide funds), 'Finanzmittel bewilligen' (to approve funds), 'Finanzmittel freigeben' (to release funds), and 'Finanzmittel beantragen' (to apply for funds). An adjective such as 'öffentliche' (public), 'staatliche' (government), or 'ausreichende' (sufficient) often comes before the word.
Der Ausschuss hat die nötigen Finanzmittel für das Forschungsprojekt bewilligt.
The committee approved the necessary funds for the research project.
The purpose of the funds is often stated with 'für' (for) and the accusative case. In this context, the word is usually used in the plural because it refers to several amounts or sources of money.
Für die Sanierung der Brücke stehen noch nicht genügend Finanzmittel zur Verfügung.
There are still not enough funds available for renovating the bridge.
