I think you're right designate (funds or resources) for a particular purpose:
the cash had been earmarked for a big expansion of the programme

The fact 'finalistes' is used to describe a number of things, I ended up using a more general term.
S Ben Price (asker) Dec 17, 2013:
According to Helena's reference, this is sounding like "earmarked" funding.
S Ben Price (asker) Dec 17, 2013:
Ye,s that makes perfect sense. Thanks for clearing that up. : )
Helena Chavarria Dec 17, 2013:
Although Catalonia is not officially a country, some people refer to it as one and I'm quite sure that in this case, 'nacional' means 'Catalan' (from Catalonia) and 'estatal' means 'Spanish' (from the State of Spain).

purpose-oriented resources

L’escenari d’ingressos comprèn les previsions dels
ingressos i diferencia entre ingressos finalistes i no
finalistes i, en alguns casos, entre ingressos ordinaris
i ingressos extraordinaris o vinculats al cicle econòmic.
El tractament diferenciat dels recursos disponibles
permet millorar l’assignació i gestió dels recursos, atès
que els recursos finalistes queden directament vincu­
lats a la despesa i no competeixen a l’assignació de
recursos generals.

After some research I would suggest 'purpose-oriented resources', as opposed to 'general resources'.

'finalistes' (Catalan) and 'finalistas' (Spanish) is also used for income and land, which leads me to think that the resource will be used for a specific purpose, as opposed to a general one.

I think 'earmarked funds/funding/resources' works very well.
