We’re excited to announce that seven organizations throughout Iowa will receive a combined $75,506 in 2025 AARP Community Challenge grants. The grants are part of AARP’s $4.2 million commitment to fund 383 quick-action projects nationwide aimed at making communities more livable for people of all ages.
Advocating on behalf of Iowans age 50+ and giving you a voice at the State Capitol is a top priority for AARP Iowa. During the 2025 legislative session, we engaged on several bills with wide-ranging impacts related to housing, consumer protections, utilities, and more.
