[MainstreetManagers] 2020 AARP Community Challenge Grant

[Buffy Hughes]

Happy Friday.  I just saw this today about the AARP Community Challenge Grant, and thought some of you might be interested.

The application period for the 2020 AARP Community Challenge is open!

The AARP Community Challenge<https://www.aarp.org/livable-communities/community-challenge/> provides small grants to fund "quick-action" projects that can help communities become more livable for people of all ages. Applications are being accepted for projects to improve housing, transportation, public space, technology ("smart cities"), civic engagement and more.

Important Dates

April 1, 2020: Applications are due by 11:59 pm (ET)
May 26, 2020: Applicants will be notified of their status this week
July 15, 2020: The selected grantees will be announced to the public - and the project work can begin - on or around this date
November 9, 2020: All funded projects must be completed
December 11, 2020: Deadline for after-action reports
