October AARP Foundation Contributions are now available!

Contribute 4,000 points to Help End Senior Poverty in October!

https://www.aarp.org/rewards/redeem/11001-11helpendseniorpoverty/

Your point contribution to support AARP Foundation, AARP’s charitable affiliate, is a gift of hope for seniors who may feel forgotten and without options. For seniors struggling to meet their basic needs, your point contribution is a lifeline.

Disclaimer:

Individual AARP Rewards participants may contribute up to 8,000 points a month, depending on availability (October 2020 will be 4,000). Your point contribution to support AARP Foundation will result in a payment from AARP to AARP Foundation. Your point contribution is not tax-deductible. AARP Foundation Donations do not count towards any other monthly redemption limits.

@AARPTeri

I was watching for the opportunity to send the other 4,000 of 8,000 points to the foundation. What is the problem? Why will we only be able to contribute 4,000 points this month with rolling monthly points cancellation bearing down upon us next quarter?

Thank you,

Hey Teri,

Only one "tile" in the catalog this month for 4,000 points. We used to have 2 tiles to contribute 4,000 from each tile. I hope another item will be added to the catalog so that we may max out our points contribution with 8,000 points (a total of $10).

Thanks!

@andrewtoo

Indeed Teri Andrew has great question WHY? ONLY 1 DONATION THIS MONTH?

Still in pandemic plus now upcoming Holiday season I feel strongly Seniors need this support from Rewards Community along with our personal $$ donations to Foundation

Seems sad 😞 & a shame not have 2 this month when needed most.

Please consider offering it another time this month so we can help those in need

Thanks for your help

Ginger ; )

@gm5271 There are many reasons for the varied amounts that we can allow points each month, this month you can once again donate 4,000 points here: https://www.aarp.org/rewards/redeem/11001-12helpendseniorpoverty/

You can give to the AARP Foundation at any time without limits here: https://www.aarp.org/aarp-foundation/ways-to-give
