Total amount granted
HMP Training, Inc.
HMP Training Inc is so appreciative to be a recipient of the 2023 Responsive Grant. The funds received were put to great
use by providing free tuition for numerous students in our heavy equipment certification program. Upon graduation from
our course, students have gained or are in pursuit of a new career as a heavy equipment operator. This funding not only
means a lot to the students but to all of us as well because it helps provide training to people in the community that
want to work but don’t have the proper funds to help them advance in life. – Mark Stevanus, Owner/Operator
