Kubota Launches Fifth Annual Hometown Proud Grant Program

Kubota Tractor Corporation has announced the commencement of its fifth annual Hometown Proud grant program, a commitment to empowering local nonprofits and enhancing community well-being. This initiative is a testament to Kubota’s enduring dedication to fostering strong local ties and supporting the invaluable efforts of nonprofit organizations across America.

Overview of the Grant Program

Starting from April 3, 2025, nonprofits are invited to submit their applications until May 9, 2025. A total of 10 different grants—valued at $50,000 each—will be awarded to initiatives that seek to utilize Kubota equipment for community projects. This includes a cash component of $25,000, along with a $25,000 voucher for Kubota equipment, making a total grant valued at $50,000.

Todd Stucke, President of Kubota Tractor Corporation, expressed enthusiasm about reaching this milestone, noting that the program has already awarded $2 million in grants over its history. Stucke emphasizes that Kubota is intent on partnering with local dealerships to inspire grassroots change in communities nationwide.

How to Apply

The grant application process is streamlined for ease of access. Nonprofits looking to apply must meet the following criteria:

• - Must be registered as a 501(c)(3) organization.
• - Projects should be relevant to the communities where they operate.
• - Nonprofits must be located within a 50-mile radius of an authorized Kubota dealer.

Applying is a straightforward process that involves three essential steps:
1. Visit KubotaHometownProud.com within the application window.
2. Complete the online form detailing the organization, project objectives, and how Kubota equipment could enhance the initiative.
3. Upload a brief video showcasing the project and submit the application.

Notably, there is no limit to prior applicants; nonprofit organizations that have applied in previous years are welcome to participate again, although previously awarded grants are exempt from reapplication.

Community Impact

The range of eligible projects is vast and inclusive. Initiatives such as the renovation of community gardens, parks, athletic fields, educational gardens, and even enhancement of public spaces are encouraged. Past grant recipients exemplify the diverse ways in which Kubota equipment can spur positive change, from supporting youth sports to bolstering local food banks.

What makes this program truly special is its ability to engage Kubota dealers, who play an essential role in these community-driven projects. Their active involvement underlines the significant impact that these grants can have. Together, Kubota and local dealers can bring tangible improvements to their communities.

Upcoming Opportunities

In addition to the grant program, Kubota will launch a corresponding sweepstakes on May 10, 2025. This will provide consumers with an opportunity to win a Kubota zero-turn mower or a BX tractor, showcasing Kubota’s ongoing connection with its customer base.

To summarize, the Kubota Hometown Proud grant program not only honors nonprofit organizations aiming to uplift their communities but emboldens local partnerships and rekindles community spirit through impactful grant funding. The application period is currently open, and eligible nonprofits are encouraged to act quickly to take advantage of this opportunity.
