The Harrah's Foundation Announces $1.1 Million Donation to the AARP Foundation

The Harrah's Foundation provides support to many organizations focused on older Americans. As the largest corporate donor to the Meals on Wheels Association of America; one of only two strategic alliance partners with the Alzheimer's Association; the major funder of Second Wind Dreams and the WGBH Boston-produced broadcast special, "Caring for Your Parents," the Harrah's Foundation continues to champion many issues facing seniors nationally and internationally.

AARP Foundation
The AARP Foundation is AARP's affiliated charity. Foundation programs provide security protection and empowerment for older persons in need. Low-income older workers receive the job training and placement they need to re-join the workforce. Free tax preparation is provided for low- and moderate-income individuals, with special attention to those 60 and older. The Foundation's litigation staff protects the legal rights of older Americans in critical health, long-term care, consumer and employment situations. Additional programs provide information, education and services to ensure that people over 50 lead lives of independence, dignity and purpose. Foundation programs are funded by grants, tax-deductible contributions and AARP.
