grant
Confer or fund
To grant is to give something formally—permission, a request, a wish, money.
Governments grant rights, foundations grant scholarships, genies grant wishes.
A grant is something given this way, especially funding for research or projects: She received a grant to study climate change.
To take for granted is to assume something without question or fail to appreciate what you have.
Granted concedes a point: Granted, he's difficult, but he's also brilliant. (Capitalized Grant is a surname or given name.)
