Polaris Donates More Than $135,000 to Off-Road and Snow Organizations Through Its Fall 2025 TRAILS GRANTS

Combined with the Spring 2025 TRAILS GRANTS, Polaris has donated more than $255,000 in 2025 and nearly $4 million since the program's inception

MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Polaris Inc. (NYSE: PII), announced it is donating more than $135,000 to off-road vehicles (ORV), all-terrain vehicles (ATV), and snowmobile riding clubs and organizations across the United States and Canada as part of their TRAILS GRANTS program. For nearly two decades, Polaris' TRAILS GRANTS program has supported organizations and programs that promote safe and responsible riding, facilitate trail preservation, and help protect the environment and natural resources that are a part of the off-road trail systems.

"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," said Reid Wilson, President of Off-Road Vehicles, Polaris. "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."

Awarded twice annually, Polaris TRAILS GRANTS support the efforts of nonprofit organizations and local riding clubs who use the grant for trail development, maintenance projects, safety and responsible riding education initiatives, and other projects. In April, Polaris awarded 13 organizations Spring TRAILS GRANTS, making the combined donation amount for 2025 more than $255,000.

"LPFA is looking forward to getting some much-needed work done on the Yellowjacket OHV Trail. Thanks to funding from Polaris, we will be able to build sustainable creek crossings to improve trail conditions for riders, as well as protect wildlife in these sensitive riparian areas," said Addison Jerlow, program manager, Los Padres Forest Association. "This funding provides a crucial first step in managing this trail for years to come."

"We're incredibly grateful to Polaris for their generous support of avalanche safety in the motorized community in Utah. This grant helps us expand our education and awareness programs for the motorized community, one of the groups most at risk in avalanche terrain," said Kate Waller, development director, Utah Avalanche Center. "As more riders explore the backcountry, we must continue to provide accessible, relevant avalanche forecasting and safety information, as well as training."
