It would perhaps be nice if there were funding for adding
minority languages, but the process really isn't as onerous
as it may seem. It is not like participating in some ISO
standards development where a large committment of time and
money may be required.
Also, there is a short term solution available, which is
to assign the missing characters to codepoints in one of
the Private Use Areas. If you publicize this temporary
encoding (ideally with an accompanying Unicode-encoded font
so that people can make use of it easily), people will immediately
gain the ability to work in the language and to read what others
have written so long as they are aware of the temporary
encoding. Having done this, you then apply to the Unicode Consortium
to for permanent codepoints.
