Texas Mutual Insurance Company, the state’s leading provider of workers’ compensation insurance, has awarded over $9 million to 124 Texas nonprofits this year through two Request for Proposal (RFP) initiatives.

In both grant cycles, applications were reviewed by Texas Mutual employee volunteers who looked for proposals that align with our mission of building a stronger, safer, more resilient Texas. Our community affairs team also works hard to ensure that funding is distributed throughout the state.

The first cycle, investing in generational learning, awarded over $4.5 million in grants to 66 organizations focused on:

• Improving the health and wellness of Texas employees and their families by providing access to quality 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 wraparound support for clients in addition to case management to ensure families have the resources they need to seize opportunities
