Free CARP Membership Now Available for All CFUW Members
We are thrilled to share an exciting new partnership between the CFUW (formerly the Canadian Federation of University Women) and CARP (Canadian Association of Retired Persons). This collaboration brings together two influential national organizations committed to equity, education, advocacy, and improving the lives of women and older adults.
As part of this partnership, every CFUW member is now eligible for a free one-year CARP membership (regularly $19.95). There is no cost, no obligation, and a great deal to gain. And in return, CARP will be introducing CFUW to its 250,000 members across Canada, helping us expand our reach, grow our chapters, and bring more voices into our shared advocacy work.
Why CARP Membership Matters for CFUW Members
CARP is Canada’s leading non-partisan, not-for-profit advocacy organization focused on improving life as we age. Their work aligns closely with CFUW’s mission
and values, especially in areas of lifelong learning, public policy, and community engagement. CARP’s national advocacy has contributed to major policy wins, including:
Ending mandatory retirement
Advancing pension income splitting
Restoring Old Age Security eligibility to age 65
Establishing the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board
Fighting for stronger long-term care standards, home care, and healthcare access
By becoming a CARP member, you add your voice to a powerful movement working on many of the issues CFUW members care deeply about.
Your Free CARP Membership Includes
Exclusive member benefits and discounts on travel, insurance, health products, and more
Regular updates, research, and issue briefings on healthcare, financial security, aging, and public policy
Participation in national advocacy campaigns shaping federal and provincial policy
A stronger platform for your voice—as part of a 230,000-member organization working for change

Together, CFUW and CARP can champion a more equitable, age-friendly, and inclusive Canada. We encourage every CFUW member to take advantage of this
free CARP membership and add your voice to a movement creating meaningful change.
Thank you for your dedication to advancing equity, education, and advocacy.
