Polaris Spring 2025 TRAILS GRANTS Provide Over $120,000 in Trail Funding Resources for Off-Road and Snow Organizations

MINNEAPOLIS, MN – April 23, 2025 – Polaris Inc. is once again showing its commitment to the off-road community, announcing over $120,000 in funding for trail projects through its Polaris Spring 2025 TRAILS GRANTS program. This round of grants supports 13 organizations across the U.S. working to preserve, maintain, and enhance access to off-road and snowmobile trail systems.

Since its launch in 2006, the Polaris TRAILS GRANTS program has become one of the most impactful trail funding resources in the powersports world. To date, it has contributed more than $3.5 million to over 425 ATV, SxS, and snowmobile clubs and organizations throughout North America.

“Local riding clubs and organizations are the heart of the riding community,” said Reid Wilson, President of Off-Road Vehicles at Polaris. “We’re proud to support their efforts so riders of all types can continue to create memories outdoors with family and friends.”

The Spring 2025 recipients each received up to $10,000 in trail funding resources for a variety of projects, ranging from trail maintenance and safety infrastructure to youth education and environmental conservation.
