Texas Mutual Funds Generational Learning and Workforce Safety Training

Texas Mutual is committing $8 million in grant funding to organizations across Texas through two request for proposal (RFP) initiatives. This is the third consecutive year we are investing in nonprofit organizations for their efforts to support working families and fortify businesses through workforce development and safety training.

Grant Cycle #1: Generational Learning

Applications for the first grant cycle focused on generational learning open at 8 a.m. CDT on Monday, April 17, and will close at 11:59 p.m. CDT on Friday, May 26. In the first grant cycle, we’re seeking to invest in initiatives that support generational change and will award organizations that demonstrate the following:

• Improving the health and wellness of Texas workers and their families by providing access to quality health care and health education
• Strengthening the early childhood education system by ensuring child care providers have the resources needed to deliver access to affordable, quality education for Texas families
• Providing holistic wrap around support for clients in addition to case management to ensure families have the resources they need to seize opportunities

Texas Mutual’s community affairs team will host an informational webinar on April 26 to answer questions about the generational learning grant cycle. Interested organizations are encouraged to register for the event.

Grant Cycle #2: Workforce Development and Safety Training

Applications for the second grant cycle focused on workforce development and safety training will be accepted between 8 a.m. CDT on Monday, August 21, and 11:59 p.m. CDT on Friday, September 29. Through the second grant cycle, we are seeking to invest in organizations and initiatives focused on the following:

• Training the current and future skilled workforce in safe work practices, especially in industries or occupations at higher risk for workplace accidents
• Creating strong pathways for in-demand middle-skill jobs
• Upskilling and reskilling adult learners using earn-and-learn initiatives

Grant amounts will vary by market and organization size. Applicants are recommended to request funding between $25,000 and $100,000, unless otherwise advised. To be eligible for grant funding, organizations are required to be based in Texas, must be a 501(c)(3) designated organization, and must be able to demonstrate they are actively delivering assistance and services to Texas communities. Organizations can find more information and access the application during the appropriate submission window at texasmutual.com/communityfunding.
