Total Grant Income
Total value of grants and statutory funding received in a period
What is Total Grant Income?
Total grant income is the sum of all grant and statutory funding received in a period. It shows the amount of income an organisation receives from funders and public bodies.
For many charities, grants are a major part of income, so this is a key measure of financial position and dependence.
