Information About

Grant (money)




A grant is money given to an individual or an organization that does not hold an obligation of repayment. In that respect, it differs from a Loan , and does not incur any Debt or interest. Grants can be given out by Foundations and governments. Grants to individuals can be either Scholarship s or Donation s to Non-profit Organization s.
Other grants include intergovernmental grants which are used to correct fiscal imbalances between different levels of government. Many federations use these grants to correct imbalances between taxing and spending across different levels of government. Examples include the US, Australia and Kenya.
