Grant Details

The success of MMRMA depends heavily upon an effective partnership with its members. To encourage the partnership, MMRMA has created the Risk Avoidance Program (RAP).

• Risk Avoidance Program (RAP) Grants: A set of specific grants that address significant ongoing loss exposures hazards. It has been determined that these recurrent grants have a substantial impact in reducing or avoiding loss. These grants typically involve supporting the purchase of certain equipment or devices that, when deployed, will help avoid or mitigate loss. Standard grants also support specific education or training programs. Claim history and loss exposures are periodically analyzed in relationship to the various Standard Grants to make certain the grants continue to be relevant.
• Certification and Accreditation Program (CAP) Grants: Certification and Accreditation Grants support programs for professional education, training, and formal recognition through a structured accreditation or certification program. These programs are typically offered through independent professional service organizations or government agencies. Certification and accreditation involves advanced education including training curricula and exams based on criteria and standards for industry best practices. It is believed that achieving accreditation is a reflection of member commitment that will, in turn, reduce claims.

The purpose of the RAP and CAP programs is to provide targeted financial assistance to lower the frequency and severity of property and casualty losses. Eligible expenses include:
