How Revenue is Spent at AARP (2023)
AARP – the American Association of Retired Persons – is a tax-exempt, non-profit organization who offers a broad mission: “to empower people to choose how they live as they age” but more specifically focuses on the issues and benefits of those 50 years and older.
With an estimated 38 million members who pay $15-$20 annually, AARP is one of the largest non-profit member-based organizations in the country. However, membership dues are not the main source of AARP’s revenue and expenses are not dominated by member services. Instead, AARP relies primarily on royalties for revenue with expenses dominated by compensation and advertising/promotion.
