financial grants

Money given freely

Financial grants are funds given by governments, foundations, or institutions that don't require repayment—unlike loans.

Organizations award grants for specific purposes: research, education, business development, or community projects.

Recipients typically apply with proposals and must use funds as specified: She received a financial grant to study renewable energy.

The term often appears in contexts of higher education and nonprofit work.
