grantable

Grantable is an adjective meaning capable of being granted or conferred by an authority. It is used in legal, financial, and administrative contexts to indicate that a right, property interest, funding, or permission can be transferred, awarded, or bestowed under applicable rules.

In property and estate law, a grantable interest or estate refers to a right that can be conveyed by deed or instrument. In grant management and nonprofit work, grantable funds describe those that may be awarded by a program, subject to conditions, reporting, and compliance. In information technology, grantable privileges are those that an administrator may assign to users, sometimes with a grant option to further propagate the permission.

Etymology and usage notes: grantable is formed from grant and the suffix -able, and appears most often in formal documents rather than everyday speech. It commonly modifies rights, interests, funds, or permissions. Related terms include grant, grantor, grantee, grant-in-aid, and grant eligibility. The opposite is non-grantable or ungrantable, though the latter is uncommon; the exact meaning depends on the governing rules of a specific program or jurisdiction.
