This week we focus on:  SGI Grant Programs

Grant programs


"We give back to communities through grant programs that help us focus on traffic safety while caring for customers"


"The program provides $100,000 a year in total grants to help local organizations offset the cost of traffic safety and brain injury prevention programs.
SGI and the Acquired Brain Injury Partnership Project have offered the program since 1997.
By applying for a community grant with your idea for a traffic safety or brain injury prevention program, you have an opportunity to access the funding needed to get your initiative started.
Grant amounts
The average grant amount is $1,000 per project.
Project ideas
The grant program is looking for ideas on the following priorities:
SGI traffic safety priorities
  • impaired driving
  • seatbelt and child car seat use
  • pedestrian safety
  • bicycle safety
  • snowmobile safety
  • aging drivers and new drivers
  • high collision sites
Acquired brain injury priorities
  • sport and recreation injury prevention
  • workplace safety
  • fall-related brain-injury prevention
