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 2025 Grant monies, applicants needed to submit:

• The 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.
• 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 (2024).
• 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.
