Today, Polaris Inc., the global leader in powersports, announced
it has granted more than $90,000 to off-road and all-terrain
vehicles (ATV) organizations across the United States as a part of
its T.R.A.I.L.S Grants program. The 10 nonprofit organizations that
were awarded a September 2019 T.R.A.I.L.S Grant received awards
ranging from $5,000 to $10,000, totaling more than $90,000. The
grants will be used towards developing, improving and expanding
trails, and educating on ATV/ORV safety and riding.
“The T.R.A.I.L.S Grant program supports the initiatives of
off-road organizations that aim to champion off-road riding,” said
Chris Musso, president of Off Road at Polaris. “These organizations
are a driving force in off-road sports and play a vital role in the
future of safe, legal and accessible riding.”
As the first-of-its-kind program in the industry, T.R.A.I.L.S
Grants provide funding to national, state and local organizations
in the United States to help support the future of ATV and off-road
riding. The T.R.A.I.L.S Grant program covers two main objectives:
promoting safe and responsible riding, and supporting environmental
preservations and trail access. Organizations can use funds from
the grant to increase and maintain land access through trail
development, maintenance projects, safety and education initiatives
and other projects.
The September 2019 T.R.A.I.L.S Grant Recipients are:
- Town of Disney (Disney, Oklahoma)
- Missouri Dirt Riders Inc. (Wright City, Missouri)
- SPORTSMENS Off Road Vehicle Association of Delta County
(Escanaba, Michigan)
- All-Terrain Vehicle Association of Minnesota (Stacy,
Minnesota)
- Grand Isle ATV Club (Grand Isle, Maine)
- Minot ATV Club (Minot, Maine)
- New Mexico Off Highway Vehicle Alliance (Albuquerque, New
Mexico)
- Sauk Ridge Runners ATV Club (Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin)
- Progressive Agriculture Foundation (Birmingham, Alabama)
- Safe Kids Kansas (Topeka, Kansas)
“This grant will help our club tremendously,” said Debbie
Gendreau, treasurer of Grand Isle ATV Club. “We are using the grant
monies to fund a bridge reconstruction on a heavily used access
trail through the St. John Valley. Polaris has been so gracious to
award our small club this grant, and it will benefit a great
variety of outdoor enthusiasts. Projects like these will be
appreciated for years to come and our club is extremely grateful to
Polaris and their representatives.”
Polaris has been awarding T.R.A.I.L.S Grants since 2006.
To-date, the program has supported nearly 300 off-road and ATV
organizations with more than $2.5 million in grants.
