“Local riding clubs and organizations are the backbone of the off-road community, dedicating countless hours to maintaining trails, promoting safe riding practices, and building community,” Polaris head Reid Wilson stated. “These grassroots organizations bring so much energy to the sport and our Trails Grants program is one of our ways to say thank you. We’re proud to help them keep the ride going.”

Polaris has operated the Trails Grant since January 2006, donating nearly $4 million in total. The spring 2025 donations totaled over $120K.

The UTV and snowmobile manufacturer also runs the Polaris Fund for Outdoor Recreation Grants in partnership with the National Forest Foundation. This fund awarded over $113K for 2025 in July.
