Overview
AARP addresses issues affecting older Americans through lobbying efforts at the state and national governmental level, an activity permitted by its 501 (c) (4) status. The organization says that it is non-partisan and does not support, oppose or give money to any candidates or political parties. The total revenue for 2006 was approximately $1 billion and it spent $23 million on lobbying. Middle-class security has been a major focus for the organization in recent years. AARP also provides extensive consumer information, volunteer opportunities, and events including an annual National Event & Expo.

AARP launched Life Reimagined in May 2013, calling it a "first-of-its-kind series of online and offline experiences that guide people through life transitions by helping them discover new possibilities and connect with a community of people pursuing similar passions and goals". USA Today called the initiative "the latest step for the AARP ... as it continues to rebrand itself and become the go-to address for feeling good about aging". Board of directors
