AARP Indiana to Award Grant to Huntingburg as Part of Nationwide Program to Strengthen Communities

AARP Indiana will join the City of Huntingburg and other community leaders for a ceremonial check presentation to highlight the organization being one of 17 throughout the state that received a 2026 Community Challenge Grant .

Funding will deploy a portable radar speed sign along high-crash pedestrian corridors, helping slow traffic and improve safety for people walking to essential destinations. 

The grant is part of an $8.3 million commitment by AARP, doubling last year’s total, to fund 750 quick-action projects nationwide aimed at making communities more livable for people of all ages, especially older adults. 

Now in its tenth year, the AARP Community Challenge has awarded $631,633 through 57 grants in Indiana since 2017 to nonprofit organizations and local government entities across the state. 

Media are invited to attend and learn more about the project and how the grant funding will support local improvements that benefit residents, especially older adults, on Wednesday, July 29 at 11:00 AM ET.
