APPLY FOR A GRANT
Our objective is to help reduce the financial burden of a work-related injury or death by providing grants that will help the individual or family endure their healing or recovery immediately following an accident on the job.
​
Our fund is only able to pay out so many grants per year. As a result, we must focus our attention by limiting applicants based on several factors.
​
At this time, we are focused on applicants who are or were (or related to someone) working full time in the arborist industry.
​
All Applicants will be required to show that they (or the injured party) have, prior to the incident:
-
Attempted to align themselves with a credible tree-focused company committed to safety.
OR: -
Individually pursued relevant safety-focused professional development.
A substantial part of the grant evaluation will focus on this matter. Examples of factors considered include:
-
Relevant professional certification
-
Educational certificate or degree
-
Working at a company with a documented safety program
-
Working for TCIA accredited company
-
Working for a company with a considerable percentage of Certified Arborists, CTSP, or otherwise formally credentialed arborists.
