Term:

Grants

Definition:

Typically used to describe amounts of money received by an organization for a specific purpose but with no obligation to repay (in contrast to a loan, although the award may stipulate repayment of funds under certain circumstances). For example, the state receives some federal grants for the implementation of health and community development programs, and the State also awards various grants to local governments, private organizations and individuals according to criteria applicable to the program.
