The risk management grant program is designed to assist members as they strive to improve employee safety and prevent general and employment liability losses through the purchase of training, equipment, or services. We believe each member can lower their net costs through the proactive management of risk in the community and workplace. Reducing claims costs means more money is available to use in other important areas. To apply for grant funds, complete the Grant Program Application.
