Nonprofits with a Community Project Are Encouraged to Apply Now Through May 7, 2026

GRAPEVINE, Texas, April 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- To continue its longstanding commitment to strengthening hometowns where Kubota customers and dealers live and work, Kubota Tractor Corporation is now accepting applications for its annual Kubota Hometown Proud^® grant program. Nonprofits with projects where Kubota equipment can make a difference are encouraged to apply now through May 7, 2026, for a chance to receive a grant valued at $50,000 ($25,000 cash and a $25,000 Kubota equipment voucher). Ten grant recipients, one from each of Kubota's 10 operating districts across the country, will be awarded this year.

"In 2026, we are once again building on the millions in funding and equipment grants we've awarded to a range of organizations over the past five years," said Alex Woods, President, Kubota Tractor Corporation. "Kubota's grant program has helped fund many meaningful projects, all led by passionate local dealers working together with nonprofit leaders to make a difference in hometowns across the country. We look forward to meeting our next group of grant winners to continue this important tradition of giving back to our communities."  

Any nonprofit with a project where Kubota funding and equipment can positively impact a community is encouraged to apply. Past grant winner examples include renovating fairgrounds, rodeo arenas and barns; expanding Ag education centers and farm incubator programs; building new parks, trails, green spaces, and community gardens; and revamping youth sports fields and other public recreation spaces. Whatever the community project and vision, Kubota's mission is to help build it, together.
