Today, Polaris Inc. (NYSE: PII), announced it donated more than

expansion of trails, and help educate riders on safe and
responsible riding practices.
“These local organizations and clubs are made up of passionate
volunteers and riders who love our sport – they are truly the life
blood of the off-roading community with a genuine desire to help
create a safe and enjoyable experience for all those looking to get
out and ride,” said Steve Menneto, president of Off Road at
Polaris. “The T.R.A.I.L.S Grants Program is our way to help support
their efforts and show our appreciation for their passion and
dedication.”

“Now more than ever, our riding community is looking to the

can be enjoyed while still allowing people their space in these
uncertain times,” said Nick Wognum, president of the Prospectors
Trail Alliance. “In partnership with two other clubs, the
Prospectors Alliance helps manage more than 250 miles of
Minnesota’s trail system. We are already seeing more and more
riders out on the trails as the weather gets nicer and thanks to
Polaris this grant will enable us to help keep the trails properly
maintained, well-marked and clear of obstacles.”
Since its inception in 2006, Polaris’ T.R.A.I.L.S Grants program
has provided funding to national, state and local organizations in
the United States to help support the future of ATV, snowmobiling
and off-road riding. The T.R.A.I.L.S Grant program covers two main
objectives: promoting safe and responsible riding and supporting
environmental preservations and trail access. Organizations may use
funds from the grant to increase and maintain land access through
trail development, maintenance projects, safety and education
initiatives and other projects.
To date, the program has supported 305 ATV, off-road and
snowmobiling organizations with more than $2.6 million in grants.
