The AARP Foundation is a nonprofit organization focused on the welfare and support of low-income and vulnerable older adults. Founded in 1961, it is an affiliate of AARP, an influential organization that provides advocacy, information, and services for people aged 50 and above. The foundation’s mission is to “create and advance effective solutions that help vulnerable and low-income older adults build economic opportunity and social connectedness.” Its programs and initiatives are designed to address the challenges faced by older adults, such as hunger, housing insecurity, social isolation, and financial instability. Among its major initiatives are the Senior Community Service Employment Program, which provides job training and placement for older adults; the Hunger Solutions program, which helps reduce food insecurity among at-risk populations; and the Housing Solutions program, which aims to provide affordable housing and related services for low-income seniors. The AARP Foundation also collaborates with other organizations, corporations, and government agencies to achieve its goals. It operates on a nationwide scale and has offices in Washington, D.C. and other locations across the United States. The foundation is funded by donations, grants, and partnerships, and has a strong track record of achieving meaningful and sustainable impacts in the lives of older adults.
