We’re excited to announce that seven organizations throughout Iowa will receive a combined $75,506 in 2025 AARP Community Challenge grants. The grants are part of AARP’s $4.2 million commitment to fund 383 quick-action projects nationwide aimed at making communities more livable for people of all ages.
Advocating on behalf of Iowans age 50+ and giving you a voice at the State Capitol is a top priority for AARP Iowa. During the 2025 legislative session, we engaged on several bills with wide-ranging impacts related to housing, consumer protections, utilities, and more.
Building great communities takes time, but tangible improvements can spark long-term change. That’s why AARP launched the Community Challenge grant program, funding projects that build momentum to improve livability nationwide. We’re excited to announce that the program is back for its ninth year and is now accepting applications online through March 5, 2025, at 5:00 p.m. ET / 2:00 p.m. PT.
