Our Mission
AARP Foundation serves vulnerable people 50 and older by creating and advancing effective solutions that help them secure the essentials.
Our Focus
We're tackling senior poverty by sparking bold, innovative solutions that help vulnerable older adults build ecomonic opportunity and social connectedness — fostering resilience, strengthening communities and restoring hope.
Our History
For 57 years, we've aided America's poor and isolated seniors. As AARP's charitable affiliate, we serve AARP members and nonmembers alike.
Our Approach
Operating at the intersection of collaboration, innovation, legal advocacy and grantmaking, we bring together industry, government, activists, and volunteers to forge practical approaches that pair brainpower with some serious willpower.
