Grants aren't donations.

Here's $100 but you have to spend it on materials for research, not executive salaries. It's called a restricted donation. You may hear that colleges and universities have million dollar endowments but still send out fundraising emails. This is because you might get a $200k donation from an alumni that is only to be used on tuition for student athletes and, yeah, you take that money because that means $200k that you don't need to spend there... But that you can only spend there.

So you've got to keep that money around unless you use it for those things.

All grants come with strings. You can go to grants.gov and click on hundreds of them.

I think that's just a bribe in that case isn't it?

Here's my $1000 donation, but you must remove one testicle from each member of your team...regardless of their assigned sex at birth. For $2000, we would like two. Thank you!
