Due to the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles and in consideration of the families and communities impacted, we will postpone AARP’s Annual Movies for Grownups Awards originally scheduled to take place Saturday, January 11, 2025 in Beverly Hills. We extend our sympathies to all who are affected. AARP will provide a new date and time for the awards as soon as possible.

Beginning today through March 5, 2025, at 5:00 p.m. Eastern, AARP invites local eligible non-profit organizations and governments across the country to apply for the 2025 AARP Community Challenge grant program. AARP Community Challenge grants fund quick-action projects that help communities become more livable by improving public places, transportation, housing, digital connections, and more. Now in its ninth year, the program is part of AARP’s nationwide Livable Communities initiative, which supports the efforts of cities, towns, neighborhoods and rural areas to become great places to live for all residents, especially those age 50 and older.

Older Americans are increasingly interested in using technology to live in their current homes and communities. Now, new research conducted by AARP and the Consumer Technology Association (CTA)® finds that 80% of older Americans currently own at least one type of tech that enables aging at home, and over half express a high likelihood of buying and adapting more of these emerging technologies.

Today, nonprofit founders around the country will be able to apply for the AARP Purpose Prize Award and have the chance to win $75,000 and a year of support and resources for their organization.

Today, AARP Executive Vice President and Chief Advocacy and Engagement Officer Nancy LeaMond issued the following statement on the first day the new $2,000 annual out-of-pocket spending cap for prescription drugs goes into effect for our nation’s nearly 56 million Medicare Part D enrollees.
