Recently, Polaris Inc. announced the recipients of its Spring 2026 TRAILS GRANTS, awarding more than $125,000 to 14 off-road and snowmobile organizations across the United States and Canada.
The announcement comes during a milestone year for the program, which celebrates its 20th anniversary in 2026. Since launching in 2006, Polaris has contributed more than $4 million through TRAILS GRANTS to support trail development, maintenance, and rider education initiatives.
Awarded twice annually, the TRAILS GRANTS program invests in nonprofit organizations and local riding clubs dedicated to building, maintaining, and enhancing trail systems. These efforts help ensure safe access to riding areas, promote responsible riding practices, and preserve outdoor recreation opportunities for future generations.
“Every great ride starts with someone willing to put in the work,” said Mike Speetzen, CEO of Polaris. “For 20 years, TRAILS GRANTS has supported the volunteers and clubs who maintain trails, educate riders, and care for the landscapes that make our sport possible. This milestone reflects their impact, and we’re excited to continue supporting the riders and communities shaping the future of our sport.”
2026 Spring TRAILS GRANTS Recipients
Fourteen organizations have been selected to receive grants of up to $10,000 to support trail infrastructure, safety, and environmental stewardship projects:
“Our club is proud to be selected, especially as both the program and our club celebrate 20 years,” said Joe Kuznia, Treasurer of the Roseau Lake of the Woods Sportsman’s Club. “This support allows us to upgrade key trail infrastructure and continue providing safe outdoor recreation for our community.”
As the TRAILS GRANTS program enters its third decade, Polaris remains committed to supporting the trails and landscapes that define the riding experience. From local trail systems to iconic public lands, the company continues to invest in projects that expand access, promote responsible riding, and protect the outdoors.
