AARP is a nonprofit membership organization of persons 50 and older dedicated to addressing their needs and interests. We seek through education, advocacy and service to enhance the quality of life for all by promoting independence, dignity and purpose.
Description:
AARP is the nation’s leading organization for people age 50 and older. It serves their needs and interests through our primary areas of expertise and proven success through:
· Information and education
· Legislative, judicial and consumer advocacy
· Community services
· And member services
that are provided by a network of local chapters and experienced volunteers throughout the country.
History:
Founded in 1958 by retired California educator, Dr. Ethel Percy Andrus, AARP is a private, nonprofit 501 (c) (3) membership organization incorporated in the Distriact of Columbia. AARP (formerly known as the American Association of Retired Persons) today represents more than 35 million members. About half of our members are working, either full or part-time, while the others are retired. Nearly a third of our members are under the age of 60; those 60 - 74 comprise 46% and 21% are 75 and older.
AARP is also a nonpartisan organization; we do not have a political action committee. Neither the Association nor any officer, volunteer or member speaking for the Association may endorse, oppose, or contribute financially to a candidate for public office or specific political party.
