This registration, alone, does not provide grant funding or free car seats.

This is not an application for any competitive opportunity. 

To apply for competitive opportunities, including our Community Grant, Gift of Safety, or Greater Cincinnati partnerships, you must submit the Common Partnership Application, when it is open, during the annual application period, and after first completing your organization’s Partner Registration. 

Overview:

Buckle Up for Life offers Registered Partners free access to its multi-generational and multi-lingual educational resources, to help community-based passenger safety programs enhance their community outreach.

Eligibility:

Any organization or entity (not individual) with a vested interest in passenger safety may register as a Buckle Up for Life partner.  Individual team members may create their own user accounts affiliated with their registered organization, but they not register on their own behalf.

Partner Benefits:

Registered Partners receive access to free online tools, including an optional, personalized Virtual Safety Station microsite.

Buckle Up for Life also provides the curricula and supporting materials necessary for a certified car seat expert to deliver age-appropriate education as follows:

• For children: seat belts, where to sit in a car, and proper passenger behavior.
• For teens: crash dynamics, seat belts, and sound decision-making.
• For adults: crash dynamics, seat belts, distracted driving, and child-passenger safety.

Partner Portal:

Partner access to Buckle Up for Life resources is available through the Partner Portal.

Upon registration, new partner organizations will receive a welcome email which includes link to the Partner Portal.

A permanent link to the Partner Portal is also available at the top right corner of the Buckle Up for Life homepage.

• All approved users affiliated with a Registered Partner organization share ongoing responsibility for the following:
  • Maintaining accuracy of information provided on your affiliated organizational account–including contact information; as well as community, organizational, and programmatic details.
