The TRANSCAER® Hazmat Team Response Fund was established in 2020 to assist hazmat responders in acquiring hazmat response equipment and advanced training to protect themselves and their community when responding to hazardous materials transportation incidents.
Funding for the TRANSCAER Hazmat Team Response Fund has been made possible due to the generous support of our Corporate Members. From each corporate membership fee $500 is directed to the Hazmat Team Response Fund.
The TRANSCAER Hazmat Team Response Fund provides annual awards between $500-$2,500 (based on individual needs) to hazmat teams across the United States who are seeking to purchase specific hazmat equipment or attend advanced training. As funding availability increases, the number of awards provided will increase annually. TRANSCAER will announce the number of available awards each year when the application period opens.
The 2023 application period is now open through June 1, 2023. The winners will be announced by August 15th.
In 2023, at least two hazmat teams will be selected to receive $500 to $2,500 in funding.
To be eligible to apply for funding through the TRANSCAER Hazmat Team Response Fund, hazmat teams must meet the following criteria:
Applications that do not meet the stated criteria will be disqualified from the application process.
After the application period ends, the TRANSCAER Executive Committee will review the applications to assess financial need, anticipated use of funds, community risk and overall eligibility. At minimum, two hazmat teams will be selected to each receive $500 to $2,500 in funding. Selections are based upon the information provided in the application essay and the decisions of the TRANSCAER Executive Committee are final.
The winners will be announced by August 15, 2023 (due to the application period extension). The winning hazmat teams will be contacted directly before a public announcement is made.
