About Grants
A grant is a way that Baltimore County Government funds your ideas and projects that provide public services and stimulate the economy. Grants support critical recovery initiatives, innovative research and many other programs, and is one of the ways that local government redistributes resources to eligible recipients. A grant is an award that is not required to be paid back and does not accrue interest. Loans are different, as those must be paid back and often accrue interest.
