Gewährung vs Genehmigung

approval / permit

'Genehmigung' and 'Gewährung' can both appear in formal situations when someone receives or is allowed something after applying for it. 'Genehmigung' mainly means permission or a permit for a specific plan or project. 'Gewährung' is broader and describes the act of officially granting or approving something, for example money, a right, or even a permit. The words can be confusing because a 'Genehmigung' can be granted. 'Genehmigung' is more natural when the focus is on permission, while 'Gewährung' is used when the formal granting of money, help, or rights is emphasized.

Visual example for Genehmigung
Gewährung

Wegen der hohen Kosten beantragt die Familie die Gewährung einer finanziellen Hilfe.
