TRANSCAER COMMUNITY GRANT PROGRAM

National TRANSCAER® is pleased to announce that grant money to help off-set operational expenses for hazardous materials training is available.

This year the TRANSCAER Grant Committee is earmarking $25,000.00 for the 2013 TRANSCAER Community Grant program dedicated to supporting approved hands-on, classroom training and other transportation related training expenditures. 

The TRANSCAER Community Grant Program will be supporting TRANSCAER training events in 2013 on a case-by-case basis with an award of $500.00 to $1,000.00 per event.

Here is a brief description of how the TRANSCAER® GRANTS process works:

• Grant applicants are encouraged to submit their grant request on-line using the APPLY NOW button below.
• If you do not have access to the internet, the grant applicants must submit a letter on official letterhead describing how the TRANSCAER event meets the TRANSCAER mission and criteria outlined in the attached guidelines.
• The National TRANSCAER Direct Funding Task Group will evaluate each request letter/application individually.
• Decisions will be communicated directly from the TRANSCAER Direct Funding Task Group to the applicant in writing with a copy to the Regional or State Coordinator.
• As there is a limited pool of money, once funds are depleted, a notice will be posted on this web site stating that the funds have been allocated for the year.
• If a grant recipient cancels an event that has been awarded a TRANSCAER grant, the monies must be returned to the Staff Executive with 30 days of canceling the event.
• NEW...Each Grant application MUST include a copy of a W-9 - Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification - please note:  the name on the Grant application, must match the name on the W-9.
• NEW...Each Grant recipient will be required to provide copies of the receipts for each grant awarded within 30 days of the event.
