164846940	0	0	The Membership Development work is based on the recognition that members are an essential part of AARP's ability to achieve its mission. Speaking on behalf of its tens of millions of members gives AARP significant power and reach in advocating for social change in our national, federal, and state legislatures; and members also provide grassroots activism, volunteer work, and input into the problems faced by Americans as they age, which helps shape AARP's social change agenda. Membership Development is dedicated to ensuring that the member experience is valuable and a relevant portfolio of member services and benefits is available with key portfolio areas of: my health, my home & family, my money, and my personal time. Membership Development researches the wants and needs of specific segments within the population of age 50+, including, for example, multicultural segments, boomers, retired educators, and AARP's primary age segments (50-59, 60-69, and 70 and over).
109440359	0	0	The States and Communities Group (S&C) has established a field office in every state, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands. S&C drives social change through advocacy, education, and outreach. These 53 offices coordinate AARP's local efforts and provide a structure that delivers personalized services and programs to members and other older Americans in their homes and communities. These offices offer needed assistance, information, and support to older Americans. They also fill many of the gaps in services that families, communities, and government are unable to address, enabling older persons to maintain their independence and dignity.
19783191	0	0	Education and Outreach - AARP researches and identifies certain strategic areas and focuses its activities and resources to develop programs, provide/produce information, and conduct studies on three key issues affecting members: health & family, finanical security, and long-term care.
7157674	0	0	The Office of Volunteer and Civic Engagement (OVCE) seeks to motivate unprecedented numbers of AARP members to actively participate in bringing about positive social change in America. The OVCE initiates service through: Create the Good, which connects individuals to a network of people, tools, and time-flexible voluteer opportunities; Day of Serivce, which AARP employees engage in community service; Andrus Awards for Community Service recognizes AARP volunteers who have made a difference in the communities in ways that supports AARP's mission, visions, and direction; AARP Chapters link members with community programs and services; Maureen McKoy Award for Excellence in Service recognizes an AARP employee who has fostered a significant engagement, service or community outreach on the job.
3967462	0	0	The AARP Experience Corps Program (AARP's newest service initiative), is an award-winning national program that engages people over 50 to tutor and mentor K-3 elementary school students struggling to learn to read. In the United States, nearly 70% of children are not reading proficiently by the end of third grade. High school dropout rates for students who were unable to read on grade level by third grade are four times higher than students who read proficiently. For students who live in poverty the statistics are significantly worse. The idea that from third grade onward, students should be reading to learn, not learning to read, inspires the work of AARP Experience Corps. AARP Experience Corps helps address this national problem by selecting caring, 50+ adult tutors through an application and enrollment process and securing their commitment to serve for an entire school year. Tutors frequently volunteer in schools in their own communities so that they directly give back to and help children in their own neighborhoods. AARP Experience Corps volunteer members also serve as mentors and role models who reflect the communities in which they live. More than half are African American and one in five is a former educator. The intergenerational interaction AARP Experience Corps provides helps build respect, caring, civility in relationships, and stronger communities.

Part I, Line 1a	AARP board members, officers, and key employees are provided the benefit of first-class travel on flights exeeding 5 hours when business class accommodations are not available. Directors may also use first-class travel if prior approval is obtained from the Corporate Secretary's Office due to medical reasons or for especially late-night arrival, or if approved by the Board Chair. The AARP Chief Executive Officer is provided the benefit of first-class travel on flights exceeding 90 minutes due to the extensive travel requirements of the position. In 2012, 17 board members used first-class travel. All directors for AARP serve on a volunteer basis and are not compensated for their generous commitment to AARP. The officers, directors, and key employees are, however, reimbursed by AARP for travel and subsistence costs incurred in carrying out their duties. In addition, directors are reimbursed for travel and subsistence costs incurred for spouses/companions accompanying them to Association functions. The board members receive a gross-up payment to ensure there are no out-of-pocket expenses related to the income taxes for the spouse/companion travel. All spouse/companion travel reimbursements and tax gross-up payments are treated as taxable income to the directors. The Chief Executive Officer of AARP was given the following benefits in 2012: 1) group-term life and supplemental life insurance policy, premiums paid by AARP in 2012 were $19,392.03; 2) spousal travel of $5,520.24; and 3) parking benefits of $360.00 All items were treated as taxable compensation to Mr. Rand in 2012.
Part I, Line 4a	John Rother received a separation payment in the amount of $245,380.36 in 2012. A separation payment in the amount of $236,989.10 is included in Catherine Ventura-Merkel's compensation package in 2012. A separation payment in the amount of $128,744.04 is included in Matthew Mitchell's compensation package in 2012.
Part I, Line 5	Under AARP's enterprise-wide compensation plan numerous organizational factors are considered in employee compensation, of which gross revenues is one factor.

Return ReferenceReturnReference	ExplanationExplanation	IdentifierIdentifier
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 4	AARP's bylaws were amended to conform to the new DC Nonprofit Corporation Act.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11	The Form 990 is prepared and reviewed in AARP's internal tax department. The return is then put through a secondary review which includes the AARP Controller and AARP General Counsel. After this thorough review process, the Form 990 is distributed to the Board of Directors for their review. After all issues are addressed the return is reviewed by the Chief Financial Officer prior to electronically filing with the Internal Revenue Service.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c	Annually, all board members and employees (including officers) are required to review the Code of Conduct, formally acknowledge their understanding of the Code, and disclose any real or potential conflicts of interest. Disclosures are reviewed by appropriate management (or in the case of a board member, the Board Chair, and if necessary, the Governance Committee), and the Chief Ethics & Compliance Officer. The appropriate resolution plan is implemented (for example, recusal from participating in any deliberations and decisions relevant to the disclosure). The Chief Ethics & Compliance Officer monitors compliance with these requirements and ensures proper follow-up as needed.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15a	AARP considers relevant for-profit and not-for-profit data since this is the landscape in which AARP competes for talent. Establishing the appropriate compensation for positions and jobs considers external market pricing (where possible) from an independent, third party compensation consulting firm, internal criteria, and an individual's actual performance and contribution. Internal criteria is based on a standard approach that measures the internal value of positions, including: complexity and scope of responsibility, skill set and competencies, education and experience, and the reporting relationship of the position. An individual's actual performance and contribution is measured through AARP's performance management approach and then rewarded through AARP's annual base pay merit and incentive awards programs. For the CEO, information from all three areas (external data, internal data, individual performance and contribution) is submitted to the Board of Directors for review and approval. In some cases, the Board may deal directly with the independent, third party compensation consulting firm on external market pricing. The individual in this position may have legal representation and may insist on an employment contract with terms that are mutually agreed upon by the individual and the Board.
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19	AARP makes its Form 990 available on its website at www.aarp.org or upon request to the General Counsel's Office. AARP's audited financial statements and conflict of interest policy are also available on its website at www.aarp.org. AARP's Form 1024 will be made public upon request to AARP's Office of General Counsel. All other governing documents will be made available to the public in the event those documents are included in a filing with the Internal Revenue Service.

Form 990, Part VII, Section B, Line 1	Based on a confidentiality provision in the contract with Hendrick Motorsports, the amount paid by AARP cannot be disclosed.	Henderick Motorsports
Schedule R, Part V, Question 2	The AARP Insurance Plan is a grantor trust established by an Agreement and Declaration of Trust for the purpose of making group health insurance and other health-related products and services available to AARP, Inc. members. Agreements between AARP, Inc., AARP Services, Inc., and several insurance companies enable AARP-branded insurance products to be made available to AARP members. At the direction of the third party insurance carriers, the Plan pays AARP, Inc. a portion of the total premiums collected for the use of its intellectual property, which is reported as royalties in the consolidated statements of activities.
