Where did the money for the fund is coming from?

Even if its coming from other banks, it means they have to increase fees somewhere.

First from the assets of SVB (IOW, from the shareholders’ equity). After that, there is the possibility of special assessments from other member banks, consistent with the (quite short) Treasury statement: “Shareholders and certain unsecured debtholders will not be protected. Senior management has also been removed. Any losses to the Deposit Insurance Fund to support uninsured depositors will be recovered by a special assessment on banks, as required by law.”
The FDIC fund.
