A block grant is a specific amount of money received that is then designated for specific projects or areas. Revenue sharing is the amount a business profits and how that monies are distributed to the shareholders, partners, employees etc.
The main advantage that the revenue sharing system had over federal grants in the aid programs was that there were fewer requirements. Both options were intended to provide federal moneys to the individual states.
