Safety Grants

Stacks of illustrated money bundled together.

Important note: We have phased out the 100% reimbursement rate for COVID-related Safety and loss prevention purchases. COVID-related purchases will continue to be accepted and reimbursed at 50%.

Every year, we reimburse members for hundreds of thousands of dollars in safety and loss prevention purchases. This has empowered them to make landmark improvements and obtain resources that would have been otherwise out of reach.

The program reimburses up to 50% of the cost of purchases that help reduce the risk of a loss or improve the safety of your facilities.

For more information, view our FAQ.
