Description: The Kubota Tractor Corporation has announced the launch of its second annual Hometown Proud grant program. This year, in honor of its 50th anniversary in the United States, Kubota will award five grants of $100,000 each to revitalize or refresh community spaces. Also new this year, each of the five grant winners will have a chance at an additional $100,000 Kubota Community Choice Award selected by public vote this summer. Each project application can be as diverse and imaginative as the community itself; examples include cultivating a community garden, creating a new playground area, beautifying a community park, adding landscaping to a town square or open space, or modernizing a fairground or rodeo arena. Applications will be judged based on criteria including how they demonstrate community need for the revitalization project, how the community will benefit long-term from the completion of the project, and how Kubota equipment might be used to complete the renovation project.
Award: $100,000 with the potential of an additional $100,000 Kubota Community Choice Award
Eligibility: Applicants must be a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization or a city, town, or other municipality
Deadline: April 15, 2022
