On April 16, AARP Vermont Associate State Director of Advocacy Colin Hilliard presented testimony to the Vermont House Ways and Means Committee in support of S.51. This bill would provide individuals who provide uncompensated care a refundable credit against their personal income tax liability valued up to $1,000 if certain income, familial, and time requirements are met.

AARP Vermont is now accepting applications for the 2014 Community Action Sponsorship Program -- a program to provide modest grant funds and technical support to community groups or individuals. The initiative is part of the Age Friendly Communities initiative aimed at preparing Newport for the rapidly aging demographic shift - particularly in the areas of housing, mobility and community engagement.
The advantages of being an AARP member just got a lot better. As an AARP member in Vermont you can take advantage of a host of special offers and discounts negotiated with you and your family in mind. Whether it’s a night at the symphony, a play, musical, concert or even First Night, there’s something for everyone in this winter’s slate of events.
Four small organizations with big plans have been selected to receive Community Action Sponsorships from AARP Vermont to support their efforts to make Burlington a more livable city. AARP Vermont launched the Community Action Sponsorship Program in 2010 as a way to provide modest grant funds and technical support to community groups whose missions were consistent with those of the Burlington Livable Community Project. This citywide collaborative project seeks to prepare Burlington for the rapidly aging demographic shift – particularly in the areas of housing, mobility and community engagement.
