Motorcycle Talk / Polaris Donates $135,000 Thro...
Last post by Biketographer - November 17, 2025, 10:21:26 AM
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.

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 and safety and responsible riding education initiatives.

"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."

These 14 organizations were named Fall 2025 TRAILS GRANTS recipients and received awards up to $10,000 each.

    Alliance for Trail Vehicles of Maine (Caribou, Maine): Replace or update youth safety trailers and equipment to support statewide education efforts.

    Friends of Utah Avalanche Forecast Center Inc. (Salt Lake City, Utah): Enhance avalanche safety through daily forecasting, trailhead signage, and free or low-cost education programs tailored to the riding community.

    Hatcher Pass Snow Riders Club (Palmer, Alaska): Equip trail crews and volunteers with avalanche safety gear and protective equipment to improve safety, emergency response, and promote responsible snowmobiling.

    Idaho Overland Association (Idaho Falls, Idaho): Restore and maintain 30–50 miles of multi-use trails, install safety signage, equip volunteers, and expand partnerships with ranchers and land managers to promote responsible recreation and preserve shared access across Idaho's public lands.
