TRAILS GRANTS Program
Launched in January 2006 for off-road and snow clubs, associations and grassroots groups, this industry-first program supports you—our riders—in keeping people riding.
The Polaris TRAILS GRANTS program makes funds available to organizations in the United States and Canada to promote safe and responsible riding, support trail preservation and help protect the environment and natural resources that are a part of the off-road trail systems. Funds can be used by organizations for off-road trail development and maintenance projects, safety and education initiatives, and other projects to increase and maintain land trail access.
Grant Guidelines
Organizations can apply for either monetary or products for up to $10,000 annually, with the ability to apply for two grants per year. All organizations must be 501(c)(3), 501(c)(7) government or non-profit organizations.
If the grant is approved, a Results Report will be required as follow up to the project along with photographs that showcase before, during and after efforts. In order to be considered for a new grant, all previous grant programs must be completed with a result/progress report.
Also required is a trail file, either as a GPX or shapefile format, of your club's trail system. Polaris RIDE COMMAND and the related map information is an intrinsic part of the Snowmobile, ATV and ORV programs at Polaris.
Therefore any TRAILS GRANTS that will be used for development, maintenance or the purchase of equipment to be used for that purpose, must submit a GPX or shapefile of that trail system to [email protected] before any grant funds will be made available.
