[Star Wars] Who pays the Jedi?

The Jedi Order appears to be an extremely well funded organization. They have the financial ability to house, feed, train, equip, and deploy hundreds, if not thousands, of members from across the galaxy. This includes a hangar full of multiple limited runs of starfighters (I would assume there would also be some transport ships in there as well) and a spacious temple built on what must be premium property in the Coruscant skyline. 

Don't forget that there are Jedi from many species all housed in the temple. I find it hard to believe that there is a one-size-fits-all solution for every Jedi which means there must be special accommodations for many of the members of the order as far as housing, dietary requirements, and equipment which could get expensive. 

The Order is somewhat like an academic institution, but you are a member for life, so there are no alumni to make donations. It is a religious organization, but as far as we see in the movies there aren't "laypeople" who donate money.

Who is paying for all of this?

Essentially "Don't actually answer if they give an answer, you have to make it up because"

They are able to support themselves off of two main sources of income

1 - Republic funding, or funding of whoever is in charge at that time (For 99% of recorded history, it's been the Republic), in return for them acting on the Republic's behalf and as agents of the Republic.

2 - Donations, it'd be a bad decision, both financially and as supposed "protectors and healers" if they didn't open their medical areas up to the masses to act as doctors and healers if they had the ability.

Not to mention the Enclaves (such as the one on Dantooine) was largely supported by farmers, many of whom thanked the Jedi for protecting them from Raiders and Bandits.

All that brought from the extended universe because fuck you, that's why.
