What is a Grant?
Grants are funds given to tax-exempt nonprofit
organizations or local governments (including
Police Departments) by foundations,
corporations, governments, small business
and individuals. Most grants are made to fund
a specific project and require some level of
reporting. The process involves an applicant
submitting a proposal to a potential funder,
either on the applicant's own initiative or in
response to a Request for Proposals from the
funder.
