grants program
AARP Foundation's grants program reflects our commitment to transforming the lives of vulnerable older Americans by meeting their everyday needs — food, housing, income and personal connection. Through our investment in grantees we seek to improve the lives of vulnerable, low-income older Americans in communities across the country so together we can build a country free of poverty, where no older person feels vulnerable.
request for information
AARP Foundation seeks information on proven and innovative practices to reduce or prevent isolation among individuals 50+. The Foundation is issuing this RFI in connection with our work on Isolation and low-income adults age 50+. The goal of the RFI is to help the Foundation learn what other organizations across the country are doing to help older Americans have the level of contact with others and involvement in community that supports healthy, engaged living.
The RFI submission process will be open beginning February 22, 2012, 12:00 PM (ET) and end on March 16, 2012, 11:59 PM ET. Learn more
