And We Want to Help Make That Happen.
Kubota is giving 10 nonprofits across the country $50,000 each to fund real community projects. If your organization is doing meaningful work, this is your shot.
When Kubota announced the 2026 Hometown Proud Grant, we knew we had to get the word out. We see nonprofits and community organizations doing real work every day on tight budgets. We know firsthand what the right equipment and resources can do for a cause that matters.
This is Kubota putting $500,000 directly into communities that need it most. And one of those communities could be ours. Imagine a local nonprofit winning $50,000. That is a story worth telling, and we want to help make it happen.
You must be a U.S. resident (18+), a designated representative of a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in good standing, and your project must be within 50 miles of an authorized Kubota dealer. Entry opens April 1 and closes May 7, 2026.
The online form times out after 60 minutes, so draft all three essay responses in a document first and copy them in when you submit. Each answer is up to 2,000 characters and covers your project and its community impact, how you would use the $25,000 cash, and which Kubota equipment would help your project.
Upload a video under 270MB, or link directly from YouTube or Vimeo. Show your organization, your project site, and why it matters. You do not need a film crew. Authentic beats polished every time.
One entry per organization. Winners are selected by region and announced on a rolling basis starting around September 1, 2026. Grant fulfillment arrives within 4 to 6 weeks of winner verification. Apply at KubotaHometownProud.com.
Four criteria, weighted equally at 25% each. Address all four directly in your essay and your video.
Identify a clear gap and show exactly how your project addresses it, both short term and long term.
Show how your project uses Kubota equipment and your local dealer. Mention Bingham Equipment by name.
Is your plan realistic? Will the impact last beyond the grant? Judges want to fund projects built to endure.
Scored separately. Show your community, your project site, and the people who will benefit.
Your community has a story worth telling. Kubota has $50,000 waiting for the right one. Stop by any Bingham Equipment location and let's talk through your project before you apply.
