Cooperative Agreements Cooperative agreements are used when the principal purpose is the transfer of money, supplies, services or anything of value to the recipient in order to accomplish a public purpose of support; and Substantial involvement is anticipated between USAID and the recipient during implementation of the activity. Grants Grants are used when the principal purpose is the transfer of money, supplies, services or anything of value to the recipient in order to pursue its stated program, and; Substantial involvement is not anticipated between USAID and the recipient during implementation of the activity.
