I read that initially the Bush administration allowed only three
million dollars to fund the work of the 9-11 commission.  Then eleven
million was requested by Kean; but in the end how much was actually
provided for this work?

Here is your answer, from the FAQ page of the website of the 9/11
Commission itself:

"What is the Commission's budget? 
Public Law 107-306 provided for the reprogramming of $3 million for
the Commission. Congress subsequently appropriated, and the President
signed into law, an additional $11 million appropriation for the
Commission. Recent legislation authorized an additional $1 million,
bringing the Commission?s total budget to $15 million."
