Mower
GRAPEVINE, Texas, Aug. 1, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- As part of its continued commitment to dealers,
customers, and local communities, Kubota Tractor Corporation
announced 20 grant recipients in its fourth annual Kubota Hometown
Proud® grant program aimed at providing support
across the country for local nonprofit organizations and their
unique initiatives. Now, each of the 20 hometown projects goes to a
public vote, and the project with the most votes in each of
Kubota's 10 operating districts will turn their $10,000 grant into a $50,000 grant.
"The Kubota Hometown Proud grant program was created four years
ago as a way for Kubota to give back to our dealers' hometowns in a
meaningful way," said Todd Stucke,
President of Kubota Tractor Corporation and Senior Vice President
for Kubota North America. "Today we are announcing more grants than
ever before – for 20 nonprofits from various hometowns across the
country – to help with community projects that will make a positive
impact in these communities for years to come. We hope the next
phase in our program generates even more hometown pride by rallying
around each organization and helping to shine a light on the
important work they all do."
Now it's up to the public to rally around their hometowns to
decide which projects are awarded additional funding. From now
until August 14, 2024, at
11:59 p.m. CT, voters are encouraged
to visit KubotaHometownProud.com and cast a vote for one of the 20
community projects. Every vote submitted will be automatically
entered into a sweepstakes* for the chance to win a
Kubota residential Z200 Series zero-turn mower or BX Series
sub-compact tractor. Voters can make their selections once per day
to increase their odds of winning. The community projects with the
most votes will be announced in September.

Proud grant program, calling on nonprofits to apply for
consideration. A record of more than 1,500 entries were received
this year from across the country, demonstrating diverse and
genuine needs from communities big and small.
In partnership with local Kubota dealers, Kubota is honored to
invest in hometowns across America to help make a sustainable

from building agriculture centers and barns, to supporting equine
programs, community gardens and vocational farming projects for
youth and veterans – which is exactly what the brand's hard-working
equipment is built for. To-date, the company has awarded
$1.5 million in Kubota Hometown Proud
grant program funding.
