Polaris Inc. is donating nearly $85,000 to off-road vehicles, all-terrain vehicles and snowmobile riding clubs, and organizations across the United States and Canada as a part of its TRAILS GRANTS program.

The TRAILS GRANTS program offers support to organizations and programs that promote safe and responsible riding, facilitate trail preservation, and help protect the environment and natural resources that are a part of the off-road trail systems.

“Local riding clubs play a critical role in maintaining trails and promoting responsible riding,” said Reid Wilson, vice president and general manager, of Off-Road Vehicles, Polaris. “Our bi-annual TRAILS GRANTS are one way Polaris supports their efforts and helps create opportunities for riders to enjoy the outdoors with friends and family.”

Awarded twice annually, TRAILS GRANTS support the efforts of nonprofit organizations and local riding clubs who use the grant for trail development, maintenance projects, safety and responsible riding education initiatives and other projects. In April, Polaris awarded 14 organizations Spring TRAILS GRANTS, making the combined donation amount for 2024 more than $220,000.

“We are thrilled to partner with Polaris to increase safety and education for our trail network,” said Tommy O’Connor, executive director, Vermont ATV Sportsman’s Association. “Polaris continues to be a valued partner in the efforts of growing ATV riding in Vermont and nationwide.”

“On behalf of North Routt Snow Riders, which is a group of all volunteers that work tirelessly to maintain over 100 miles of snowmobile trails in Routt County, Colorado, I want to thank Polaris for selecting us as a recipient of the 2024 Fall Polaris Trails Grant Program,” said Gary Doven, president of North Routt Snow Riders. “These funds will go a long way in helping us maintain trails through the 2024-2025 season.”
