2020 Financial Relief Grant - In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, VFIS of Texas and Texas Mutual Insurance Company are pleased to sponsor a need-based Financial Relief Grant program for volunteer fire departments and nonprofit EMS organizations in Texas. VFIS of Texas and Texas Mutual have come together to donate $200,000 for this grant program. Grants in the amount of $2,500 will be awarded based on financial need and are intended to provide funding assistance to help emergency service organizations affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
We understand that many emergency service organizations may be facing critical funding needs and may be unable to conduct traditional fundraising during this unprecedented time. These new grants will not be restricted to a specific use other than to provide much-needed funding to these organizations. Together with Texas Mutual, we’re proud to offer our support with these grants.
