<http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/recipient>ecipient, often (but not 
always) a nonprofit entity, educational institution, business or an 
individual. In order to receive a grant, some form of "Grant Writing" 
often referred to as either a proposal or an application is usually 
required."

profit as proposed by @alphaque and @spoonfork as a result from this

the general difference between grants, funding, pre-seed, mezzanine and 
others.

funding (up to RM200K) for early stage projects. Perfect for individuals

funding.
