Empower Your Community with Kubota
Kubota Tractor Corporation is excited to announce the opening of applications for the annual Kubota Hometown Proud® grant program which runs until May 7, 2026. This initiative is a testament to Kubota's enduring commitment to enrich the communities where its customers and dealers reside. This year, the grants will total $50,000, combining $25,000 in cash with a $25,000 voucher for Kubota equipment, to help local nonprofits drive meaningful change.
Who Can Apply
Any nonprofit organization that is recognized as a 501(c)(3) that operates within a 50-mile radius of an authorized Kubota dealer is encouraged to participate. Whether the project involves community parks, educational centers, or neighborhood enhancements, if your initiative can benefit from Kubota’s support, they want to hear from you.
How the Grants Make a Difference
In previous years, the Kubota Hometown Proud grant program has funded numerous impactful projects. From upgrading fairgrounds and rodeo arenas to renovating barns and expanding agricultural education centers, the possibilities are wide-ranging. The program aims to contribute to public recreation areas, new parks, trails, community gardens, and even the revitalization of sports fields. Whatever the vision, Kubota is dedicated to helping transform it into reality.
Application Process
Entering the Kubota Hometown Proud grant program is streamlined and designed to encourage participation. The process includes three straightforward steps:
1.
Visit the Application Website: Go to KubotaHometownProud.com and access the application portal before the deadline on May 7, 2026.
2.
Complete the Application Form: Fill in details about your organization and project, while outlining how Kubota equipment can help achieve your goals.
3.
Submit a Short Video: To support your application, upload a brief video that showcases your nonprofit's mission and the community's needs.
And that’s it! Your project could be the next one funded and aided by Kubota.
Community Commitment
Kubota’s dedication to local communities is reflected in its network of over 1,100 dealers across the nation. These local dealers are not only distributors of Kubota equipment but also staunch supporters of their communities, working closely to identify and fuel projects that have a direct impact. This program allows dealers to partner with nonprofit organizations dedicated to improving local quality of life.
In 2026, Kubota is poised to select ten grant recipients, one from each of its operating districts throughout the country. Winners will be announced in September and will receive not just funding but also the tools necessary to execute their community visions. Nonprofits that have applied in previous years are welcome to submit new applications, though past winners are not eligible this time around.
Win Give Sweepstakes
In addition to the grant program, Kubota will also host the Hometown Proud Win Give Sweepstakes starting May 8, where individuals can enter for a chance to win either a Kubota zero-turn mower or a BX tractor. It’s an exciting opportunity for consumers to participate in the spirit of community development.
Conclusion
This is a unique chance for nonprofits to obtain vital funding and equipment that can help them realize their projects, fostering community spirit and involvement.
