Property Program Grant is Back!

Property Program Members: how does $25k sound for risk control programs? The Property Program Grant includes up to $25k per program member, per year on a matching basis. Use these funds to reduce exposures associated with the Property Program. How about protecting vacant buildings with these matching funds? Other ways to use the funds are hazard inspections, other risk identification evaluations on specific locations, or implementation of security measures such as alarm system installation.

Submit applications to the EIA’s Risk Control Department by October 18 to be considered at the following Property Committee Meeting. Check out the FAQ’s and don’t hesitate to contact us.
