CreatINg Livable Communities, a partnership between AARP Indiana and the Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority (IHCDA), will continue to benefit Hoosiers over 50 for another year. In an effort to further the missions of AARP’s Livable Communities program and IHCDA’s CreatINg Places crowdgranting program, CreatINg Livable Communities assists Indiana communities in funding place-based projects for aging in place. This year, AARP Indiana has committed an additional $25,000 to the CreatINg Livable Communities program to support CreatINg Places projects that benefit Hoosiers 50 and up.
Projects must provide a clear and tangible benefit to Hoosiers over 50 and satisfy additional requirements around the promotion of diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility, as well as demonstrate a connection to existing community efforts, stakeholder engagement, and relevance to AARP Indiana’s key priorities for older Hoosiers.
Eligible projects must have a total development budget of between $15,000 and $105,000. Projects must crowdfund between $5,000 and $50,000 according to CreatINg Places guidelines through Patronicity’s crowdfunding platform. Unsuccessful crowdfunding campaigns will not receive grant funding from IHCDA or AARP Indiana.
Project applicants will be reviewed and approved on a first-come, first-serve, and case-by-case basis until all funds are exhausted.
