Do some searches at Business Week (I gave you the site) for both and gather examples.
Funding is more general, more elegant, something like "financial means which support something." Funds is very specific - money.

Hi,
In simple terms, I would prefer to say
funds = money
funding = the action of providing money. It's essentially a gerund.
I would avoid the idea of 'money coming'. For example, government funding for the arts community means that for the govermnment, it is 'money going'.
Best wishes, Clive
