Through this grant opportunity, AARP Foundation seeks to educate, engage, and enroll more eligible older adults with low income into MSP and to learn about the barriers to awareness, application, and the recertification process.
Specifically, AARP Foundation wants to identify best practices for:
- Outreach and messaging that engages older adults with low income to apply for MSPs
- Reaching historically underserved populations, including people who identify as women, people of color, LQBTQ+, people with disabilities, and people living in rural areas
- MSP engagement and application completion
Additionally, AARP Foundation is looking to collaborate with any grantees to identify innovative tactics for outreach, engagement, and enrollment of older adults with low income in MSPs. Ideally, grant applicants will have experience with the following:
- Serving older adults who are living with low income
- Providing assistance with accessing public benefits
- A record of successful outreach to historically underserved populations
The grant is open to all organizations in AARP Foundation priority states; we especially encourage community-based organizations, safety-net health care providers and clinics, and social services agencies to apply.
