What 资 means
The surrounding word decides. 资金 means funds; 资源, resources; 资格, eligibility. Older senses include goods, provisions, and support.
Is 资 the same as 資?
Yes: 资 and 資 are simplified and traditional forms of one character. The 1956 reform standardized 资; traditional Chinese and Japanese use 資.
An early seal-script form (an older Chinese writing style) of 資 appears in Shuowen Jiezi, a Chinese character dictionary compiled around 100 CE. 資 combines 貝, linked to shell money and goods, with 次 marking sound.
Neutral in ordinary Chinese writing.
