The 2010 Loss Prevention Grant is just around the corner

by Charles Hueter

Need some money to help pay for a safety improvement to your campus? Is your cafeteria fire-suppression system outdated? Are you concerned about theft and vandalism? If these are the kinds of questions on your mind, I suggest you think about applying for a 2010 Loss Prevention Grant.

The TASB RMF Board approved the funding for this next grant cycle, so now is a good time to think about projects that would reduce your accidents and claims. Maybe the roof on your bus barn needs repairs. Perhaps there’s a safer way to change the light bulbs in your gym. We encourage you to speak with your Loss Prevention Consultant to discuss these ideas.

We pay close attention to the written justification within these applications, so be sure to put the effort in to make it strong. It also helps to include supporting documentation so we get as clear an idea as possible about the equipment, training, or services you wish to purchase.

The online grant application will go live on January 15, 2010. Once you start an application, you may edit it as often as you like until the March 26, 2010  deadline. By May 2010, we will be ready to begin delivering the grant packages to those who were approved.

If you have questions about the Loss Prevention Grant Program, please contact Edwin Thompson, Director of Loss Prevention Services, at 800.482.7276, extension 6227. If you have questions regarding technical aspects of the grant, please call Charles Hueter at 800.482.7276, extension 6305.
