AARP
A nonprofit, nonpartisan organization addressing the needs and interests of middle-aged and elderly people in the United States.
About AARPAARP is a nonprofit organization headquartered in Washington, D.C., dedicated to empowering people age 50 and older to choose how they live as they age. With nearly 38 million members and offices across every U.S. state, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, the organization advocates for 125 million Americans on issues such as Social Security, Medicare, and financial security.
The organization provides a wide array of member services, including group health insurance, automotive insurance, a credit union, and travel services. It also publishes the world's largest-circulation magazine, AARP The Magazine. Additionally, its charitable affiliate, the AARP Foundation, provides job training and financial resources to low-income older adults.
As a major legislative advocate, AARP works at both federal and state levels to influence legislation affecting older citizens. Given its scale and focus on aging, innovations in healthcare, financial security, and caregiver support are highly relevant to its mission of supporting the elderly population.
