Fifth Annual Kubota Hometown Proud Grant Program Now Open Through May 9, 2025

Tennessee (April 4, 2025) – Kubota Tractor Corporation has launched its fifth annual Kubota Hometown Proud^® grant program, and Coleman Tractor Company is calling on local nonprofit organizations in our local area to submit community projects for a chance to win a $50,000 grant. This year, Kubota will award 10 grants of $50,000 each ($25,000 cash and a $25,000 Kubota equipment voucher) to nonprofit organizations, with one winner selected from each of Kubota’s 10 operating districts across the country. Nonprofit organizations are eligible to apply now at K ubotaHometownProud.com.

At Coleman Tractor Company, we believe that strong communities are built through partnership and shared investment. The Kubota Hometown Proud grant program is an incredible opportunity for local nonprofits to secure funding and equipment that can make a lasting impact. We encourage organizations in our local area to apply and bring this support home!

Last year's winner of the regional grand prize was our customer, By Faith Farms in Joelton, TN, who entered their non-profit program, Fed By Faith for consideration. With their grant winnings, Fed By Faith was able to begin a much-needed revitalization project on the farm, which included upgrades to their electrical infrastructure and greenhouse tunnels. These upgrades allow them to continue to grow nutritious vegetables year-round in more stable conditions. Working to fulfill their mission "to grow fresh, nutrient-dense food in a way that involves the local community and contributes healthy food sources to the most disadvantaged around us," Fed By Faith has provided 872,000 servings of food to date to people in need right here in our local community.

This year, we are hopeful that the grant might be awarded to someone in our area once again!
