While grants are traditionally linked with nonprofits, for-profit organizations can also benefit from funding to put towards particular initiatives - be this research, capacity building or investment in new projects or products. Grants can help give for-profit organizations that focus on societal change an edge in their entrepreneurship and improve their overall ability to pursue their mission. 

There are a variety of different organizations that might provide these kinds of grants. Traditionally, this included many federal agencies, such as the Small Business Innovation Research agency.
