AARP Kansas invites local eligible non-profit organizations and governments across the country to apply for the 2025 AARP Community Challenge grant program, now through March 5, 2025, at 5:00 p.m. Eastern. AARP Community Challenge grants fund quick-action projects that help communities become more livable by improving public places, transportation, housing, digital connections, and more. Now in its ninth year, the program is part of AARP’s nationwide Livable Communities initiative, which supports the efforts of cities, towns, neighborhoods and rural areas to become great places to live for all residents, especially those age 50 and older.
AARP Kansas has selected 18 advocates from across the state to receive fellowships to participate in the 2023 Kansas State Walking College.

AARP Foundation Tax-Aide is providing free in-person and virtual tax assistance and preparation now through April 18, 2023.

Tax-Aide is offered in conjunction with the IRS, and AARP membership is not required.
