Issue bids (anag) – give financial support (9)

I believe the answer is:

subsidise

(Other definitions for subsidise that I've seen before include "Give a grant towards" , "Support through grants" , "Support financially" , "Pay part of the cost of producing something" , "Pay a grant towards" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
