Grant-in-aid
In general terms, the word ‘grant’ refers to allowing permission for someone to do something.
It can also refer to money given to a person or organisation by a body such as the government for a specific purpose. For more information see: Grant.
Functional Standards Common Glossary, published by the Cabinet Office, defines grant-in-aid as: ‘Regular payments by departments to outside bodies (usually non departmental public bodies) to finance their operating expenditure.’
