If anyone doesn't trust AARP to transfer donated funds to the AARP Foundation, then, maybe, don't donate points? We can't donate points yet, but, I will be sure to donate them when the option is available. In the past, we have recieved an email confirmation of the donation to the Foundation, but it could be a fake confirmation
, not likely.
From the body of AARP Email dated 11/14/19:
| |  | | GOAL: $200,000 Help seniors in need >> For many of us, the holidays are a time to gather with family and friends. To share meals, spend quality time and exchange gifts together. But for millions of seniors, Harold, this is the hardest time of year. Instead of seasonal celebrations, they face loneliness, financial worries and hunger. The good news? You can help them with a charitable gift right now. Before Thanksgiving, we’re challenging our supporters to raise $200,000 to help the most vulnerable ... Here’s why this goal is so important and why we must act now: - 1 in 7 seniors live in poverty.
- Over 10 million older adults face the threat of hunger.
- In 2020, the number of seniors that need the life-changing assistance of AARP Foundation will increase.
If we reach this ambitious funding goal, we can make huge strides in reaching these vulnerable seniors, by helping provide food, resources and opportunity. Every dollar you give today could help lift a senior in need out of hunger and into a healthier, brighter future. Together we can reach, assist and uplift those who need our help the most this holiday season. Make a tax-deductible donation to AARP Foundation, AARP’s charitable affiliate, today! Your voluntary support will help us meet this goal and end the epidemic of senior hunger in our nation. Thank you, The AARP Foundation Team |
