At Texas Mutual Insurance Company, the state’s leading provider of workers’ compensation insurance, we’re committed to being a stable force for good. This year, we’re investing $8 million in nonprofits focused on supporting working families and fortifying businesses throughout Texas.

Last month, Texas Mutual awarded $4.5 million to 66 nonprofits through the first of two Request for Proposal (RFP) initiatives, focused on generational learning. Grant partners were selected for their efforts in:

• 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

Through our second RFP initiative, Texas Mutual will distribute an additional $4 million to nonprofits that are supporting Texas employees. Workforce development and safety training grants will open at 8 a.m. Central time on Monday, August 11, and will close at 11:59 p.m. Central time on Friday, September 12. For this grant cycle, our review committee will be looking for organizations focused on:

• 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

Nonprofits interested in applying can attend an informational webinar on August 20 to find out more.

Grant applications will be reviewed by Texas Mutual employee volunteers, who will look for proposals that align with our mission of enhancing workplace safety, creating pathways to in-demand jobs and supporting adult learners through upskilling initiatives. The community affairs team will also work to ensure that our funding is distributed throughout the state. Learn more about Texas Mutual’s RFP initiatives.

We’re grateful for our hundreds of community partners that help us expand our reach across the state. These nonprofits share our commitment to building a stronger, safer Texas and are doing meaningful work in their communities. Visit texasmutual.com/community to see more of our work in action.
