Grant, allowance (7)
I believe the answer is:
subsidy
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'grant' is the first definition.
(I know that Subsidy is a type of grant)
'allowance' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)
(Other definitions for subsidy that I've seen before include "Grant to help defray costs" , "Grant given to help with running costs" , "Grant paid to help with running costs" , "Arts grant, for example" , "Financial aid" .)
