Denver, Colo.— AARP announced seven organizations throughout Colorado will receive 2024 Community Challenge grants – part of AARP’s largest investment in communities to date with $3.8 million awarded among 343 organizations nationwide. Grantees will implement quick-action projects that help communities become more livable by improving public places; transportation; housing; digital connections; and more, with an emphasis on the needs of adults ages 50 and older.
Raised beds and a handwashing station in a community garden are just one of the projects funded by AARP Community Challenge grant winners in Colorado this year. The projects must be completed by year’s end.
