A grant is money given to an individual or an organization that does not hold an obligation of repayment. In that respect, it differs from a loan, and does not incur any debt or interest. Grants can be given out by foundations and governments. Grants to individuals can be either scholarships or donations to non-profit organizations. Other grants include intergovernmental grants which are used to correct fiscal imbalances between different levels of government. Many federations use these grants to correct imbalances between taxing and spending across different levels of government. Examples include the US, Australia and Kenya.

Government Grants
Most often, grants are issued by the government to those in need, such as families with low income or students attending post-secondary education institutions. In certain cases, a part of a government loan is issued as a grant, particularly pertaining to promising students seeking financial support for continuing their educations.

Billions of dollars in financial aid are currently available from thousands of foundations and government programs all over the United States. They are specifically targeted for future business owners, new business owners and existing businesses.
