Eight organizations across Colorado are getting a boost in their work to become more livable for residents of all ages.
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.
AARP Colorado’s staff and volunteer-led advocacy team scored more than a dozen public policy victories for the 50-plus during the 2024 Colorado General Assembly.
