Opening Doors to Financial Opportunity-AARP Foundation is creating the financial products and services older low income adults need to be more financially stable. All of our financial inclusion work is underpinned by our evidence-based financial capability curriculum, Finances 50+, which is designed to motivate and empower participants to take charge of their financial future and make the most of the financial resources they have. Finances 50+ materials cover budgeting and goal setting, taking charge of credit and debt, and developing a savings plan and protecting your assets. Exercises and resources are designed to provide motivation, education, and support for positive action to help participants reach their self-defined goals--whatever they may be--and build financial habits that will help them thrive. Small group workshops are led by trained volunteer facilitators and hosted by local nonprofits and other organizations. AARP Foundation Finances 50+ provided financial capability training to over 5700 participants since 2013. Over 150 iterations of this three workshop series was offered by 15 different organizations nationwide, including those in Arizona, California, Colorado, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New York, Washington State and Washington, DC.

Isolation-More than 8 million older adults are socially isolated and, therefore, at risk of poor health. The number of vulnerable Americans age 50+ who are experiencing isolation has been on the rise and is expected to increase in the coming years. AARP Foundation's Isolation work is focused on developing and delivering solutions that help vulnerable individuals over 50 stay socially connected, prevent isolation, and improve related health outcomes. In 2015, the Foundation managed a range of grants and Foundation-led pilot programs, including Mentor Up, an intergenerational service initiative that encourages young people to volunteer with older adults at risk of social isolation. In support of its Isolation work, AARP Foundation also continued to advance a multi-pronged research agenda designed to gain a deep understanding of isolation within the low-to-moderate income 50+ population.

Building on the 2014 research study "Housing America's Older Adults," in 2015, AARP Foundation co-convened the Future of Housing conference to developing a collective vision for meeting America's housing affordability and accessibility needs over the next several decades and to identify key steps to be taken to make this vision a reality. The Foundation continues its role as a thought leader by convening industry experts on aging-in-place and health-and-housing matters.

Return Reference Explanation
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 4 Pursuant to Article V(B) of the By-Laws of AARP Foundation, the board members are able to serve for a fourth two-year term, bringing the total length of time they can serve to 8 years. Pursuant to Article VI(B)(1)(a) of the By-Laws of AARP Foundation, the Foundation President will also serve on the Selection Committee.
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 7a The AARP Board of Directors appoints up to ten (10) voting members of the AARP Foundation Board of Directors. Six (6) of the AARP Foundation Board members shall be unaffiliated to AARP and up to four (4) of the AARP Foundation Board members may be current AARP Board members.
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 7b The AARP Board of Directors appoints up to ten (10) voting members of the AARP Foundation Board of Directors. Six (6) of the AARP Foundation Board members shall be unaffiliated to AARP and up to four (4) of the AARP Foundation Board members may be current AARP Board members. An AARP Foundation Board member may be removed, with or without cause, by formal action of the AARP Foundation Board of Directors, designating a successor. The AARP Foundation Bylaws provide that no amendments to the Bylaws adopted by the Foundation may take effect until approved by the AARP Board of Directors.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11 The Form 990 for AARP Foundation ("Foundation") is prepared by an outside consultant and reviewed by AARP Foundation's CFO and President and other internal reviewers. The Form 990 is then provided to the AARP Foundation Board of Directors. Once all reviews are complete, the return is electronically filed with the Internal Revenue Service.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c Annually, all board members and employees (including officers) are required to review the Code of Conduct, formally acknowledge their understanding of the Code, and disclose any real or potential conflicts of interest. Disclosures are reviewed by appropriate management (or in the case of a board member, the Board Chair, and if necessary, the Board of Directors), and the Ethics & Compliance Office. The appropriate resolution plan is implemented (for example, recusal from participating in any deliberations and decisions relevant to the disclosure). The Ethics & Compliance Office monitors compliance with these requirements and ensures proper follow-up as needed.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15 Through its shared services agreement with AARP, AARP Foundation participates in AARP's enterprise-wide compensation reviews. AARP has a competitive position in the marketplace that considers relevant for-profit and not-for-profit data since this is the landscape in which AARP and its affiliates compete for talent. Establishing the appropriate compensation for positions and jobs considers external market pricing (where possible) from an independent, third party compensation consulting firm, internal criteria, and an individual's actual performance and contribution. Internal criteria is based on a standard approach that measures the internal value of positions, including: complexity and scope of responsibility, skill set and competencies, education and experience, and the reporting relationship of the position. An individual's actual performance and contribution is measured through AARP's performance management approach and then rewarded through AARP's annual base pay merit and incentive award programs. This process applies to all employees of the Foundation including the President, CFO, and key employees. For AARP Foundation's president, officers and key employees, based on the process described above, the AARP Foundation Board Chair approves adjustments to the president's compensation package; compensation packages for other officers and key employees are approved by the Strategy & Governance Committee.
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 18 AARP Foundation makes its Form 990 available for public inspection on its website and upon request to the AARP Foundation's Office of the CFO.
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19 AARP Foundation makes its audited financial statements available for public inspection on its website and upon request to the AARP Foundation's Office of the CFO.
Part VII, Sec. A, Officers, Key Employees and Highest Compensated Employees AARP Foundation has a standard 40 hour work week and are the average hours disclosed on Form 990. Officers, key employees, and highest compensated employees often work in excess of that amount.
Part VII, Sec. B, Independent Contractors AARP Foundation entered into a Community Program Agreement with the Miami Dolphins, Ltd., a Florida limited partnership, and South Florida Stadium LLC, a Florida limited liability company, (collectively the "Dolphins Parties") on May 1, 2014.

Return Reference Explanation
Schedule R, Part V, Line 2(a)(6) AARP Foundation and AARP, its parent organization, share mailing lists. AARP does not rent its mailing list to other organizations, so a fair market value of the benefit to the Foundation has not been established. The AARP list is much larger and thus presumably more valuable than the Foundation list. Moreover, the vast majority of names on the AARP Foundation list are already on the AARP list, as they are also AARP members.
