What type of grant can be used for any purpose?

The general support grant is designed to provide organizations with the flexibility to use the funds as needed, without restrictions on the specific projects or programs. This type of grant is particularly beneficial for covering a range of operational costs such as staffing, utilities, and general administrative expenses, allowing organizations to allocate resources where they are most needed at any given time.

In contrast, the other types of grants have specific purposes. A capital grant is typically designated for funding specific construction projects or acquiring physical assets, while a program grant is meant for particular programs or initiatives with defined goals and outcomes. A matching grant requires the recipient to raise a certain amount of funds, which the grantor will then match, imposing additional conditions on how the funds can be used. Consequently, the general support grant stands out as the most flexible funding option among these choices.
