2025 AARP Community Challenge

ADDITONAL OPPORTUNITIES AN OPPORTUNITY FOR OTHER POSSIBLE AARP FUNDING: By submitting a proposal for the AARP Community Challenge initiative, you and your organization give AARP permission

to reach out to you and others at your organization about other possible AARP funding opportunities that your proposal may be eligible for based on the AARP Community Challenge criteria.

However, please note that AARP is not obligated in any way to consider your proposal for any additional AARP funding. Note Regarding Other Potential Funders: AARP might be contacted by other

potential funders that could be interested in funding projects that were not funded through the AARP Community Challenge. The potential funders may have additional process steps and funding

requirements than those of the AARP Community Challenge. If requested, AARP would like to send your contact information, organization name and a short description of the proposal, including

the community where the project would take place (“Project Information”). Please note that these projects will be subject to any potential funder’s own terms, conditions and review. Please

indicate in your application whether or not you give permission to AARP to share your Project Information with other potential funders. We will alert you before this Project Information is

given to potential funders. Submission Terms and Conditions If you submit this application, you agree on behalf of yourself and your organization to release AARP and its affiliates and their

respective officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents and representatives from all liability associated with submission and evaluation of your organization’s application.  BY

SUBMITTING AN APPLICATION TO AARP, THE APPLICANT AGREES THAT:    1. The decisions of AARP regarding the eligibility of applicants and the validity of entries shall be final and binding.   

2. All submissions will be judged by AARP, whose decisions and determinations as to the administration of the award and selection of award recipients are final.    3. AARP has the right, in

its sole discretion, to cancel, or suspend the award.    4. All projects and applications shall not violate any third-party rights.    5. Except where prohibited by law, participation in the

AARP Community Challenge constitutes the Applicant’s consent to AARP’s use of the organization’s name and corporate logo, street address, city, state, zip code, county, and names,

likenesses, photographs, videos, images, and statements made or provided by the Applicant’s representatives regarding the award for promotional purposes in any media without further

permission, consent, payment or other consideration in perpetuity.    6. For the Flagship and the Demonstration Grant, the organization agrees to carry and maintain comprehensive general

liability and professional liability in an amount not less than one million dollars ($1,000,000) and workers’ compensation insurance in an amount as required by applicable law covering all

personnel engaged in the execution of the grant.     7. For the Capacity-Building Microgrant, the organization agrees to carry and maintain comprehensive general liability insurance in an

amount that’s appropriate to cover the potential liability of the project as determined by the organization.     8. All promotional materials (such as newsletters, press releases), events

and signage related to the funded project will include a statement indicating that support was received from AARP and Community Challenge supporters as required by AARP.   9. The

organization is required to capture photos, videos and/or stories from the project. As the organization captures photos, videos and/or stories from the project, if an identifiable individual

appears in the photos, videos and/or stories, the organization is responsible for having him/her sign the AARP General Release. (This document is provided to grantees with the Memorandum of

Understanding and other required paperwork.) In addition, the organization should not include any element in photos or videos provided to AARP that may violate third party rights, such as

artwork and trademarks in text and logo other than those owned by the organization and AARP. The organization may be asked to send work-in-progress photos to AARP upon request. Following the

grant period, grantees are required to respond to periodic requests for updates from AARP.    10. The submission of the After-Action Report at the conclusion of the project is required by

the deadline. Failure to submit the required report will result in the removal from the AARP website until the time of submission, and non-completion will disqualify an applicant from future

AARP Community Challenge grant programs.    11. AARP and its affiliated organizations, subsidiaries, agents and employees are not responsible for late, lost, illegible, incomplete, stolen,

misdirected, illegitimate, or impermissible submissions or any other error whether human, mechanical or electronic.
