AARP today announced three Nebraska organizations—Nebraska Investment Finance Authority (NIFA), Partners for Livable Omaha, and Project Houseworks—will receive 2025 Community Challenge grant funding.

The funds will support efforts to improve public places, transportation, housing, digital connections, and other key areas.
