Texas Mutual Safety Grants

In 2024, Texas Mutual awarded over $2 million in safety grants to assist eligible policyholders in purchasing safety equipment. 

Safety grant applications are currently closed.

Our safety grants are reevaluated on an annual basis and are not guaranteed each year. We encourage you to sign up for our policyholder newsletter to stay informed of program updates.

How funds can be used

Funds may be used for ergonomic, safety, disease and illness prevention and industrial hygiene equipment to reduce or eliminate workplace injuries and illnesses.

The grant may not be used toward salaries, wages, internal labor, the cost of preparing the application or equipment or materials needed to perform a job.

Application process

When applications are open, policyholders will be directed to log in to their TMO account to access the application. In the application, you will be asked to share:

  • Your contact information
  • The number of full-time, part-time and temporary employees at your company
  • The type and cost of equipment your business is planning to purchase with grant funds
  • A brief description of how the equipment will improve safety

Your application will be sent to Texas Mutual’s review committee. You will receive an email informing you of acceptance or denial within four weeks of submission.

Who is eligible

Current policyholders in good standing are eligible to apply. Policyholders must have a Texas Mutual Online (TMO) account. (Don’t have one? Create one now.)
