AARP Minnesota

Helping connect Minnesotans to resources that help them save money and live their best life
Through Pride Month and beyond, AARP recognizes the unique challenges faced by LGBTQ+ older adults and actively works toward creating a more inclusive and supportive environment for them. We believe that LGBTQ+ adults are an integral part of the fabric of our nation and hope to see many of you at the following upcoming events sponsored by AARP Minnesota.
AARP Minnesota volunteers work tirelessly in each legislative session on issues important to our members and Minnesotans aged 50-plus. This year, we urged lawmakers to fight fraud, protect your hard-earned money, help improve driving safety, protect vulnerable adults, and increase affordable housing options for older Minnesotans.
Annual Award Recognizes Those Who Make a Powerful Difference in Their Community
A walking program, organized by Age-Friendly Northfield, aims to support healthier living for people of all ages. It's one of many projects and activities in the state focused on making Minnesota more age-friendly.
Americans reported $9 billion in losses to fraud in 2022—from fake sweepstakes to romance scams. In the current legislative session, AARP Minnesota is pressing state lawmakers to pass a bill that would create a state-level restitution fund for fraud victims. AARP is also targeting 40-year home contracts.

AARP was proud to support Black Entrepreneurs Day at the Capitol on February 16. The event is presented by ShelettaMakesMeLaugh.com, a small business founded by podcast entrepreneur Sheletta Brundidge.
AARP is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization that empowers people to choose how they live as they age. We're advocating for what is important to our members and giving you a voice at the state and federal levels. This year at the state level, we urge lawmakers to help improve driving safety, fight fraud, protect older homeowners from losing home equity when they can’t pay their property taxes, and strengthen Assisted Living protections for residents living in facilities exempt under the law.

We know that it takes time to build great communities. But we also believe that tangible improvements can spark long-term change. AARP launched the Community Challenge grant program in 2017 to fund projects that build momentum to improve livability nationwide. We are excited to announce the program is back in 2024 for its eighth year and is currently accepting applications online through March 6, 2024 at 4:00 p.m. CT.
AARP is urging lawmakers to create a restitution fund that would help compensate Minnesotans who lose money to fraud schemes.
Making a difference doesn't stop as you age. Millions of older adults are using their experience to give back, to solve problems, and to change lives. The AARP® PurposePrize® award honors extraordinary individuals who use their lived experiences to make a better future for all.
Scammers don’t take a holiday break. That’s why the AARP Fraud Watch Network™ offers a full range of free tools and resources to help you spot and avoid common scams during the holidays and throughout the new year.
December 4 to 8, 2023 is Older Driver Safety Awareness Week (ODSAW), a time to empower older adults to improve their safety on the nation’s roadways. This is important because – even though they are safe drivers overall – older drivers are more vulnerable to severe injury or even death when involved in a vehicle crash.
For the first time since AARP began publishing the Scorecard in 2011, more than half of Medicaid long-term care dollars nationwide for older adults and people with physical disabilities went to home- and community-based services instead of nursing homes and other institutions.
