'Gefördert' (supported / extracted) is the past participle of the verb 'fördern' (to support; to extract). It is used like an adjective to describe a noun that has been supported, developed, or mined.

You can recognize the meaning of 'gefördert' (supported / extracted) from the context. If it is about money, projects, or institutions, financial support is meant. If it is about people and their talents, the development of abilities is meant. If it is about raw materials, it means 'abgebaut' (mined/extracted).
Das staatlich geförderte Theater hat ein neues Stück aufgeführt.
The state-supported theater performed a new play.
In the context of financial support, 'gefördert' (supported) is often used with the preposition 'durch' (through/by) or 'von' (by) to name the funder. Common adverbs are 'staatlich' (state-funded), 'öffentlich' (publicly), or 'finanziell' (financially).

This meaning is limited to the context of mining and raw material extraction. When you read words like 'Kohle' (coal), 'Erdöl' (oil), 'Gas' (gas), 'Erz' (ore), or 'Rohstoffe' (raw materials), 'gefördert' (extracted) always means 'taken out of the earth.'
Die täglich geförderte Menge an Kohle ist beeindruckend.
The amount of coal extracted daily is impressive.
obtained / won
'gewonnen' and 'gefördert' can both be used for raw materials. 'gewonnen' is more general: a substance is taken or produced from a source or from a raw material. 'gefördert' fits especially with raw materials that are taken from the earth, for example coal, oil, or ore. The words can easily be confused because with raw materials you can often say both. 'gefördert' is more precise when mining or extraction from the earth is meant. 'gewonnen' is broader and also fits salt from seawater or energy from wind.
Das in der Region geförderte Erz wird mit Zügen zur Fabrik gebracht.
The ore extracted in the region is brought to the factory by train.
Das aus Meerwasser gewonnene Salz trocknet mehrere Tage in der Sonne.
The salt obtained from seawater dries in the sun for several days.
