Finance is usually followed by direct objects, but several prepositions appear in specific patterns and passive structures.
Finance something is the most common structure. In passive clauses, financed by introduces the source of money. Finance for is used when talking about funding available for a purpose. Finance from is less common and usually refers to a source. Finance in and finance to are generally not standard combinations directly after the verb.
These forms are not interchangeable. Choose the construction by meaning, not by which preposition appears most often.
Finance commonly takes a direct object without a preposition.
Use financed by in passive structures to name the funding source.
Finance for is used mainly as a noun phrase or in expressions about obtaining funding for something.
Financed from refers to the account, budget, or reserves that money comes from.
The same subject can take different constructions because each sentence answers a different question.
