Ten outstanding community-based nonprofits across the nation are each being awarded $25,000 in cash and $25,000 in Kubota equipment as part of this year's Kubota Hometown Proud grant program.
Now in its milestone fifth year, the program continues to invest in organizations making a difference at the local level, from community equestrian therapy centers to grassroots landscaping support for the elderly and farming training incubators, each project is unique to the community it serves and strengthens. Kubota's community support totals more than $2.4 million since the program's inception.
To empower local communities and strengthen ties with Kubota dealers, the 2025 program invited nonprofits nationwide to apply for funding and equipment, resulting in 1,088 applications in total. After a rigorous review process, 10 grant winners were selected, one in each of Kubota's 10 operating districts.
"The Kubota Hometown Proud grant program is a reflection of our ongoing commitment to supporting the communities where our customers and dealers live and work," said Alex Woods, president of Kubota Tractor Corporation. "Each year, we are inspired by the dedication and impact of local nonprofits, and we are honored to help empower their important work. Congratulations to this year's grant recipients and thank you to our dealers for supporting these projects and for continuing to make a difference in their hometowns."
