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.
