Discover how rural communities across America are turning big ideas into real results through the AARP Community Challenge grant program.

In this special episode of AARP Live on RFD-TV, AARP Livable Communities expert Mike Watson shares the big picture of how Community Challenge grants are helping rural towns create safer, more connected, and more livable places for people of all ages.

We’ll spotlight successful projects, hear stories of local impact from communities that have transformed ideas into action, and learn how local governments, nonprofits, and community organizations can apply for funding to bring their own community improvements to life.
