KEMI Safety Grant Program overview:

KEMI’s Safety Grant Program is designed to encourage and assist our insureds who wish to purchase equipment or participate in safety training that substantially reduces or eliminates injury and illness associated with a particular task or operation.

Beginning Jan. 1, 2026, any active KEMI policyholder at time of application and grant award may apply.
Awarded policyholders will be eligible for up to the amount of their total annual written premium, but not to exceed $2,500.
