There is actually a grant system for campaign finance. It's anemic as all hell, and so restrictive that it's never used, but it exists.
At least for presidential elections.

The problem with this is you have to win the presidential primary for a major party, which is almost as expensive as the general election. It's no wonder why no one uses it, the only people eligible for this grant automatically don't need it.
