Texas Mutual Awards $4.5M in Grants to Support Workforce Safety
Texas Mutual Insurance Company is announcing the recipients in the second round of its 2024 request for proposal initiative.
The company is awarding more than $4.5 million to nearly 70 organizations across the state to support their efforts in workforce development and safety training. These grants are part of Texas Mutual’s 2024 commitment of $8 million in grant funding to nonprofit organizations in two categories—generational learning for working families, and workforce development and safety training.
Grant recipients were awarded for their focus 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
To be eligible for funding, organizations were required to be based in Texas, a 501(c)(3) designated organization and able to demonstrate they are actively delivering assistance and services to Texas communities in the required focus areas.
