AARP Minnesota

Helping connect Minnesotans to resources that help them save money and live their best life
Six communities throughout Minnesota will receive 2025 Community Challenge grants. The grants are part of AARP’s $4.2 million commitment to fund quick-action projects aimed at making communities more livable for people of all ages, with a focus on the needs of older adults. The AARP Community Challenge funds innovative projects that inspire change in areas such as public places; housing; transportation; and more.
The State Legislature bridged a historically narrow political divide to pass a two-year state budget during a special session. Despite facing challenges such as vacancies in both chambers, federal budget uncertainties, and a looming structural deficit, the Legislature successfully advanced several of AARP Minnesota’s key legislative priorities.
AARP is now accepting nominations for its 2025 Minnesota Andrus Award for Community Service, which honors Minnesotans 50-plus who are sharing their experience, talent, and skills to enrich the lives of their community members.
Starting May 14, AARP is launching Countdown to 90 Years—a recognition and call to action leading up to the 90th anniversary of Social Security on August 14, 2025.

No matter where you are in the caregiver journey, these local agencies and organizations can help make the process easier
Voters aged 50 and older are the driving force behind every election and AARP is dedicated to providing trusted information on when, where, and how to vote.
Given the projected Social Security shortfall in 2034, AARP is focused on helping older Americans better understand their Social Security benefits and learn about the policies that would strengthen the program for current and future generations. If Congress doesn’t act, millions of Americans who are counting on Social Security will see cuts to the money they’ve earned. If Washington doesn't take action in the next 10 years to protect and save Social Security, it could be cut by 20%, an average of $4,000 a year. That's why AARP Minnesota and AARP Wisconsin have teamed up to bring two events to the Duluth-Superior area that wrestle head-on with the economic impact of Social Security and generational perspectives on retirement.
