At AARP Wisconsin, our goal is to help all Wisconsinites live their best lives as they age. Whether that means financial security or protection from the latest scams or working in local communities to make them safer and more accessible for all their residents, we will continue to work with lawmakers at all levels to help you live with dignity and purpose.
We know how impactful $1,000 can be. This is our way of extending some seed money to get these projects off the ground. Next deadline: September 27, 2025.
Another year, another highly successful tax-filing season for the AARP Tax-Aide program! Thanks to the commitment of our volunteers, tens of thousands of Wisconsinites received tax assistance free of charge.
Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers has introduced his executive budget and AARP Wisconsin was delighted to see it included the acceptance of Medicaid Expansion, something we have advocated for over the last several budget sessions. AARP WI believes accepting Medicaid Expansion will provide coverage for more people, make Wisconsin healthier, and provide additional funding for the Medicaid programs that support health care for older adults, fund senior programs, and help older Wisconsinites age in their homes and their communities. On March 21, we hosted a tele town hall with Governor Evers so he could answer questions from our members about Medicaid Expansion and the programs it supports. We appreciate him joining us on this important issue.
Home is where the heart is, and well-designed, livable communities promote health, sustain growth, and make for happier, healthier residents of every age, in all life stages. AARP Wisconsin is working to raise awareness in the greater La Crosse area about the need for age-friendly, livable communities.
AARP Wisconsin is committed to empowering people to choose how they live as they age. Whether fighting for legislative advancements or offering resources and experiences that open life’s possibilities to all, we’re your ally in ensuring that each individual is able to live his or her best life.
We often refer to family caregivers as Wisconsin’s unsung heroes, flying under the radar for little or no money while providing vital care that allows their loved ones to continue living in their homes and communities as long as possible.
