Nineteen AARP projects have been chosen as finalists in the sixth annual Anthem Awards, which honor purpose- and mission-driven work. These awards recognize stories, videos and other initiatives in categories that range from health and technology to sustainability, environment and climate.  

AARP is also a finalist for Anthem’s nonprofit of the year award.  

More Ways to Benefit

While a panel of judges selects the gold, silver and bronze winners for each category, readers decide who should win the Community Voice Awards.  

Last year, AARP was named the nonprofit of the year.  

With your help, AARP has a chance to win Community Voice Awards again this year. AARP nominees up for awards include a multimedia story about the danger extreme heat poses to older adults; a video interview with actress Laura Dern about her journey as a caregiver for her mother; and our sex and relationships column aimed at people 50-plus.
