Congratulations to our 2025 Grant Recipients!

The Tennessee Risk Management Trust (TNRMT) Trustees have approved 41 applications, issuing grants totaling over $264,000. We are excited to announce the latest grant recipients. This is our eighth year partnering with members to not only provide loss control recommendations but also the funds and tools needed to make safety improvements a reality. These grants positively impact workers’ compensation by reducing the frequency of incidents while more importantly keeping our teams safe.

  1. Highlighted Grant Approvals:
    • Carts, Dollies, and Brake Drum Lifts: The more lifting is minimized the less likely we are to have back and shoulder injuries.
    • Gas Detectors and Trench Boxes: It is vitally important we understand the hazards before entering a workspace and provide a lifesaving protection system.
  2. Beneficiaries:
    These grants directly benefit the well-being of our members and their staff while positively impacting all the TNRMT members.
