Public monies would lessen the need to sell so many sponsorships." On the rare occasion when we need a plural — "the moneys of Central and South America" — the sensible solution is to add an "s" to "money," though dictionaries do include "monies" as an acceptable plural. But as a substitute for plain old "money," or "funds," or "financing"? Leave it to the bureaucrats.
