AARP Community Challenge

AARP is accepting applications across three different grant opportunities: flagship grants, capacity-building microgrants, and demonstration grants. This grant program supports the efforts of neighborhoods, towns, cities and counties nationwide to become more livable for all. We believe that communities should provide safe, walkable streets; affordable and accessible housing and transportation options; access to needed services; and opportunities for residents, especially those age 50 and older, to participate in civic and community life.
