Investing in the Future of Outdoor Recreation

Each quarter, Yamaha accepts applications from non-profit organizations, public riding areas, outdoor enthusiast associations, and land conservation groups focused on improving, expanding, and maintaining safe, responsible access for motorized off-road vehicles. Our committee reviews applications and awards funds to support deserving projects.

Supporting the Outdoor Enthusiast

Over the past 15 years, The Yamaha Outdoor Access Initiative has contributed over $6 million in funding and equipment to more than 470 projects, helping outdoor recreationists protect and improve access to public lands. OAI has become a trusted partner and valuable resource for those who rely on public land for work and recreation.
