Eligibility

Current Workers’ Compensation Fund members are eligible to apply. The grants are awarded in Spring of each year. To be eligible for the Spring grant period, your application must be received by close of business April 15th.

Important Note: In order to support slip, trip and fall prevention, we are dedicating 25% of the spring grant funds to this effort. Requests that target slip, trip, and fall prevention will take priority. If a member has an employee injury exposure greater than slip, trip, and falls, based on their own claims experience for frequency and severity, that application will also be a priority.

Grant request must be for single items or groups of related items.

Items cannot be purchased until you are notified a grant has been awarded. Notification to each grant applicant on the disposition of their application will be sent no later than 30-days after that grant period closes. Projects that receive funding from other grant programs or funding sources are not eligible for this Safety Enhancement Grant.
