Grants

A grant is generally a transfer of funds from government, a business or a foundation to another organisation or individual to carry out research or a project.

The purposes that will be supported by particular grant programmes vary. Most grants will require a deed or contract to regulate the exchange of funds and outline the grant deliverables.
