The Infrastructure and LTF Funds have both (I think) made grants of the “help someone develop/save money” variety, mostly for students and new academics, but also in a couple of cases for people who were trying to pick up particular skills.
I also think it’s perfectly valid for people to post questions about this kind of thing on the Forum — “I’m doing work X, which I think is very valuable, but I don’t see an obvious way to get it funded to the point where I’d be financially secure — any suggestions?”
