    Summary

    The AARP Foundation works to ensure that low-income and vulnerable older adults have nutritious food, affordable, livable and healthy housing, a steady income, and strong and sustaining social bonds. To address those needs, the grant competition is seeking evidence-based solutions that are guided by a deep level of engagement with AARP Foundation and that can be nurtured, evaluated and brought to scale.

    The goals of this program are to:
    • Create a portfolio of grant-funded programs that includes projects with different levels of evidence with the goal of scaling, at the appropriate time, to serve more low-income older adults
    • Identify solutions that seek to achieve a double bottom line (sustainable programs that achieve a positive financial and social return).
    • Ultimately, we expect a percentage of the selected grantees will increase their level of evidence in preparation to scale their programs nationally. AARP Foundation will be actively involved during the grant period to understand how each grant-funded program works and how we can provide the necessary technical assistance to reach the different levels of evidence and create a model to achieve sustainability and expansion.
