“It’s only in the giving of oneself that we truly live.”
– DR. ETHEL PERCY ANDRUS, FOUNDER, AARP
Millions of older Americans survive day to day, forced to make choices between having a meal, cutting prescription pills in half or worrying whether they can just keep a roof over their head. Those who work often compete for jobs against a younger workforce in a competitive economy. As the charitable arm of AARP, the AARP Foundation empowers older, impoverished Americans with the basic resources needed for a higher quality of life.
Last year more than 5.2 million people benefited from the support of the AARP Foundation. Your donation helps contribute directly to the welfare of older Americans in need. For that reason, we need your contribution to help provide these life-changing services. Please send a tax-deductible gift to aarp.org/foundation.
Discover for yourself that it is better to give.
Your generosity will help maintain the independence, dignity and control of older Americans in need.
