A grant is something of high value that is given. If someone asks a government for a grant, they ask for money in order to do something they think is very important. If they can prove to the government that this thing really is important, then the government may give them the grant. A government grant of money is one kind of grant. There are other kinds too, like a grant of land or other property. A grant is often given by a government, but it may also be given by a ruler like a king or queen, or a large institution.
