grant funding
Awarded project support
Grant funding is money awarded by governments, foundations, or other organizations to support specific projects, research, or initiatives, typically without expectation of repayment.
Unlike loans, grants are essentially gifts, though they usually come with requirements about how the money must be used and reported.
Recipients apply competitively, demonstrating how their proposed work aligns with the funder's goals.
