A grant is a sum of money given to organisations or individuals for a specified purpose directed at achieving goals and objectives consistent with government policy.

From 1 January 2009 agencies are required to publish details of any grants on their website within seven days of the signing of the grant agreement.

Formerly the Finance Minister's Instruction of 14 December 2007 required agencies to publish the details of their individual discretionary grants on their web sites within 48 hours of the announcement or awarding of the grant.
