Grant basics
A grant is an agreement between a recipient or a pass-through entity and a subrecipient when the principal purpose of the relationship is to transfer cash or something of value to the subrecipient who will administer a public program or deliver a public service. A grant includes competitive, legislatively mandated, formula, single and sole source, and capital grants.
