Better Living for Seniors Pinellas (BLS Pinellas) is a networking group of like-minded professionals dedicated to integrating and strengthening programs to meet the needs of our elderly population in Pinellas County. Under the guidance of the Area Agency for Aging of Pasco-Pinellas, Inc. (AAAPP), we fundraise annually to offer grants to local 501(c)(3) organizations and/or government agencies who service Pinellas County seniors.  All funds raised and distributed by Better Living for Seniors are derived exclusively from private sources, including individual donors, corporate sponsors, and community fundraising activities. These funds are maintained and distributed independently and do not include any local, state, or federal government funds held by the Area Agency on Aging (AAA or AAAPP). 

To qualify for 2026 Grant monies, applicants will need to submit:

  • A completed Grant Application Form.
  • The type of organization you are (501(c)3 or Government entity).
  • FEIN/Tax ID with IRS Designation Letter
  • Specific financial amount request, along with the minimum amount required.
  • Details on grant fund usage, and what problem you are addressing here in Pinellas County.
  • An execution plan of how you serve Pinellas County seniors.

Note:

  • Eligible organizations cannot have received a grant disbursement from BLS Pinellas in the previous grant cycle year (2025).
  • An organization or government entity cannot receive a BLS Pinellas Grant in consecutive years, even when the request is for a new or different project.
  • Each organization awarded with a grant will need to comply with all laws and regulations that apply to its activities that do not conflict with BLS Pinellas and/or AAAPP interests, including any that apply to the Products and Services to be provided under this grant program application.

    Grant winners are required to submit an Impact Report or Executive Summary detailing their funded projects and the accomplishments to be achieved. *Learn more - download the instructions/cover letter here.
