An introduction to grants
Grants are a form of subsidy offering organisations financial support for a project or activity. A form of financial support for an opportunity that might make a real difference to people or a community but requires help with operating costs.
A form of restricted funding, the fund or grant must be spent on a specified programme of activity or an agreed set of resources.
A funder, depending on the size of grant, may require details of budget, evidence of expenditure and a regular update. They may also want a signed grant agreement or contract.
Key things to know about grants:
- Grant funding tends to be short-term, an exit strategy will need to be considered from the start.
- Funders typically have specific priorities around the type of activity they want to fund.
- Funders may issue terms and conditions as part of the agreement which may stipulate specific financial procedures or systems.
- Applying for grants and funding can take time as funder applications may have their own criteria and processes. It can also take time to get a decision and receive the grant.
