Kubota Announces 2025 Hometown Proud Grant Winners

Kubota has announced the 10 nonprofits selected as 2025 Kubota Hometown Proud grant recipients. Each organization will receive $25,000 in cash and $25,000 in Kubota equipment to help drive meaningful progress in their local communities.

Now, in its fifth year, the program has invested more than $2.4 million in community projects nationwide, and this year’s program drew more than 1,000 applications. This year’s winning projects showcase the power of local action, from advancing equestrian therapy and urban farming to revitalizing parks and supporting hands-on youth programs. With the support of their local Kubota dealers, these organizations are set to create lasting, positive change where it matters most.

“The Kubota Hometown Proud grant program is a reflection of our ongoing commitment to supporting the communities where our customers and dealers live and work,” said Alex Woods, President of Kubota Tractor Corporation.
