AARP Idaho

Today, AARP Idaho announced three organizations will receive 2022 Community Challenge grants – part of the largest group of grantees to date with $3.4 million awarded among 260 organizations nationwide. Grantees will implement quick-action projects that help their communities become more livable in the long-term by improving public places with an emphasis on the needs of adults age 50 and over.
