Our friends at VFIS of Texas helping departments stay healthy! Congratulations to each of the recipients!

Sharing from our friends at VFIS of Texas:

Congrats to the 109 Texas fire departments that received funding from the 2026 Emergency Responder Health & Wellness Grant, made possible by VFIS of Texas and Texas Mutual Insurance Company!! They will receive a combined $427,129 to support critical wellness programs for front line emergency responders.

It was a record-breaking year: more than 280 applications requesting more than $1 million - clearly the need exists, and highlights the importance of resources to these departments.

While not all applications could be funded, departments are encouraged to reapply this fall.
