English term or phrase: vanity funding
Aus einem Text �ber die Auswirkungen der Finanzkrise auf die Hochschulforschung: "Vanity funding of chairs and labs may become less certain." Es geht wohl um das Sponsoring durch Privatfirmen. Gibt es eine deutsche Entsprechung, die auch diesen leicht ironischen Anstrich hat?

Explanation:
Zwar gibt es diesen Begriff als solches nicht, das Thema "Sponsoring aus Eitelkeitsgründen" jedoch ja.
Siehe hier:

Warum also keine neue Wortschöpfung? Jemand muss ja der Erste sein.
