This is a REPUBLICAN nonprofit that has been in trouble with the IRS and which keeps its donors secret. BEWARE of responding to their emails or giving them money.MORE about the "60 Plus Association": https://www.factcheck.org/2014/04/60-plus-association-2/
Stick with AARP. Conservatives have wanted to cut, gut, and privatize Social Security and Medicare since they were created, and this "60 Plus" outfit opposed the ACA. Speaking for myself, I'd not trust 'em any further than I could throw 'em.
Their donors are suspected of being large energy companies and other right-wing entities, such as the Koch Bros. They keep their donors very secret. They call themselves "bipartisan" - but they're NOT.

i.e., at least partly funded by the Koch Brothers, in indirect fashion to make the money flow difficult to trace.
