I think the last membership offer we got was $15 for us as a couple. That's it, $15 Yeah it's a commie organization but it appears that if membership is $15 then they much be making their money some other way.
That's just part of the picture. They're a marketing company.

AARP primarily makes money through royalty payments from various partner companies, especially in the insurance industry, membership dues, and advertising in its publications. A significant portion of AARP's revenue comes from royalties received for using the AARP name and logo on products and services offered to members.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
Royalty Payments:
AARP receives substantial royalty fees from companies, particularly in the insurance sector (like health insurance plans) for the use of the AARP brand on their products and services. These companies often offer specially designed products or services for AARP members, leading to royalty income for AARP.
Membership Dues:
AARP's membership base generates revenue through annual membership fees. While this is a significant source of income, it's generally smaller than royalty payments.
Publication Advertising:
AARP's publications, like the AARP Bulletin and AARP Living, generate revenue through advertising.
Grants and Contributions:
AARP also receives funding from governmental and non-governmental sources, including grants and contributions to its non-profit foundation.
Other Income:
AARP's revenue may also include income from investment activities and other sources, though these are typically smaller components of the overall revenue stream.
