We would like to thank all the organizations that submitted applications for the 2025 BLS Grant Funding. Your commitment to making a positive impact in our community is truly commendable.

As part of the grant requirements, winners will be required to submit an Impact Report or Executive Summary detailing their funded projects and the accomplishments to be achieved.

Thank you once again for all of your participation and dedication to fostering positive change. We look forward to seeing the continued impression of your efforts in the Pinellas County community.

We anticipate the 2026 Grants information and applications will be released in Spring 2026. 

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 local Pinellas County elderly population. Under the guidance of the Area Agency for Aging of Pasco-Pinellas, Inc. (AAAPP), we fundraise annually to offer grants to local 501c3 organizations and/or government agencies who service Pinellas County seniors.

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

  • A completed Grant Application Form.
  • The type of organization they are (501c3 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 is being addressed in Pinellas County.
  • An execution plan of how they serve local 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.
