Kubota Tractor Corp. 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.
For rental companies, the grants are an opportunity to inform customers who rent equipment of the possibility to obtain the grants.
“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 Corp. “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.

Kubota Invests in Neighborhoods
Kubota’s nationwide footprint includes 1,100 dealers who support the communities in which they live and work. The Kubota Hometown Proud grant program provides local dealers with the opportunity to engage with their communities through projects that make an impact for their neighbors. The program is open to nonprofits with a community project located within a 50-mile radius of an authorized Kubota dealer, and includes Alaska, Hawaii and, new for 2026, Puerto Rico.
After the application period closes on Thursday, May 7, Kubota will review all submitted applications and select 10 winners — one from each of the company’s 10 operating districts — to receive a grant of $25,000 and a $25,000 Kubota equipment voucher. Grant recipients will be announced in September. Organizations who have entered before can enter again; however, previous winners are not eligible.
Also, consumers nationwide will have their own opportunity to participate in the Kubota Hometown Proud Win & Give Sweepstakes launching on May 8. Individuals can enter for a chance to win either a Kubota zero-turn mower or a BX tractor. No purchase required.
