USPA PROGRAMS
The Polo Development Initiative (PDI) grant program is designed to facilitate the sustainability of polo by empowering clubs and polo schools with grant-based reimbursable awards. The success of the sport depends on success of its clubs.
The intent of the PDI Grant Program, which is a reimbursable grant-based program, is to support thoughtfully presented applications for PDI funding that address specific, club-based, sustainability needs. Grant awards will be made in support of a specific purpose that addresses those needs, including by, but not limited to:
• Enhancing club membership growth and sustainability
• Improving the quality of the polo playing experience
• Promoting the overall development and growth of the sport of polo
Considering some upcoming renovation projects and wondering how to make the most of the 2026 Polo Development Initiative (PDI) program for your USPA Member Club or polo school? The Polo Development Initiative team is ready to help you get started offering informative PDI planning Zoom calls scheduled through January 16, 2026. Presented in an informal question and answer format, each session will help you learn more about the 2025 PDI guidelines, application process, and projects that have been awarded in the past few years.

The suspension of USPA Tournaments and Events will be lifted for USPA Member Clubs in locales where hosting polo matches and tournaments is permitted under applicable state and local laws, executive orders and similar decrees. The USPA Member Clubs in these locales are encouraged to follow all such requirements of their state and local authorities with respect to polo operations. In addition, we also encourage all USPA Member Clubs to take the precautions recommended by the CDC. We are preparing a detailed list of best practices for USPA Member Clubs as they return to hosting USPA Tournaments and Events and plan to circulate these guidelines within the next week. We will continue to monitor the COVID-19 situation closely and will notify you if we determine a different course of action is necessary.
