“Philanthropy stems from the desire to give love.”
AARP Founder Ethel Percy Andrus
As AARP’s affiliated charity, the AARP Foundation is the leading
philanthropic organization dedicated to confronting the economic challenges
that Americans face as they age. With help from a legion of compassionate
donors and dedicated volunteers, we work to help the most vulnerable
in our society: those with incomes below the median, women, people of
color and those who live alone.
In 2007, we accomplished great things, providing direct assistance
to more than 2.3 million people, and standing up for many others
who face daily struggles due to financial insecurity.

My first involvement with AARP was in the mid-1980s. Amzia Wheeler,
an AARP Tax-Aide volunteer, asked me to help find a suitable
Tax-Aide location in Owensboro, Kentucky, where I lived. Click
