Agency - AARP Tax Aide

The AARP Foundation is AARP's affiliated charity dedicated to serving vulnerable people 50+ by creating solutions that help them secure the essentials and achieve their best life.

Description:
Foundation programs are funded by grants, tax-deductible contributions from AARP members, the general public, and AARP. These funds are used to support the continued growth of the Foundation’s legal advocacy, community service, and educational program work. The Foundation continues to respond to and seek new opportunities to achieve its stated goals and to expand the reach of its programs to more low-income and vulnerable older Americans in need. The Foundation has also strengthened its partnership with AARP by increasing its support of AARP's charitable programs that advance the Foundation's mission. AARP members are able to support the Foundation's good work through volunteerism and immediate and long-term financial contributions. This support helps expand the charitable work of the Foundation.
In Thurston County we have sites in Tumwater, Lacey, Olympia, panorama and Yelm from February 1 through April 15.

History:
Since 1968, Tax-Aide volunteers have helped nearly 50 million low- to middle-income taxpayers, many of whom are aged 60 or older. Tax-Aide has grown to become the nation’s largest free, volunteer-run tax preparation and assistance program. Approximately 34,600 AARP Tax-Aide volunteers, trained in cooperation with the Internal Revenue Service, help more than 2.6 million taxpayers file their federal, state, and local tax returns each year. The AARP Tax-Aide program is offered at approximately 6,500 locations nationwide in senior centers, libraries, community centers, and at other convenient locations across the country.
