zuwendungsfähig

English translation: eligible for a/the XXX state/government grant to carry out the YYY activity

Bus/Financial - Finance (general)
German term or phrase: zuwendungsfähig
betrifft Zuwendung für ein Unternehmen zur Durchführung eines Vorhabens
Ina Brandt
English translation:eligible for a/the XXX state/government grant to carry out the YYY activity
Explanation:
A "Zuwendung" is a "state/government grant" according to Hamblock/Wessels and that term sounds good to me too. To get the "fähig" part, I would use a short phrase including the word "eligible" because, although the word "grantable" exists in NODE, it is used to describe the money rather than the business receiving the money. Something like:

"eligible for a/the XXX state/government grant to carry out the YYY activity"

eligible to receive financial support / an allocation (of funds)


Explanation:
Wahrig defines "Zuwendung" as Schenkung, finanzielle Hilfe

Zuwendung = legacy [Schäfer, Wirtschafsenglish]
However,
Zuwendung f aus Reingewinn
(Fin) allocation from profits
[Schäfer]

In your context, "allocation of funds" would seem to make a lot more sense; a company is rarely the beneficiary of a monetary gift...

For the "fähig" part in zuwendungsfähig, I'd suggest "eligible". It fits your context best.

HTH!
