About Area Agency on Aging for North Florida
Area Agency on Aging for North Florida Inc channels large, recurring contracts into elder services across a 14-county North Florida region, with Elder Care Services Inc in Tallahassee receiving the largest listed award at $2,362,756 in 2025. The grant record shows a network approach rather than isolated project grants: Bay County Council on Aging Inc in Panama City received awards in 2023, 2024, and 2025, and several other local senior-service providers also appear more than once. That pattern fits the agency’s stated role in supporting older adults, adults with disabilities, and caregivers through direct service delivery, advocacy, education, and support. The recent grants are concentrated in organizations that deliver elder services, reflecting the foundation’s focus on aging services, caregiver support, nutrition, Medicare counseling, elder abuse prevention, health promotion, emergency home energy assistance, and information and referral. Its structure is also programmatic: active procurement and RFI/Q processes are used to select local providers for Older Americans Act services in the AAANF service area. The result is a funding profile built around contracted community providers serving older adults in Florida.
What Area Agency on Aging for North Florida Funds
Aging services dominate the portfolio. Elder Care Services Inc in Tallahassee received $2,268,509 in 2024 for elder services, showing how the agency supports local organizations that deliver day-to-day services to older adults. Nutrition is another clear thread: Holmes County Council on Aging Inc in Bonifay received $748,230 in 2025 for elder services, a category that aligns with the agency’s Older Americans Act nutrition contracts. The record also points to county-based service delivery through senior centers and councils, including Senior Citizens Council of Madison County Inc in Madison, which received $494,010 in 2025. On the access side, the organization’s active programs include Medicare counseling through SHINE/SMP and information and referral through the Elder Helpline, connecting funding to navigation and support functions for older adults and caregivers.
How Area Agency on Aging for North Florida Gives
Typical grant sizes are substantial: the 25th percentile is $185,220, the median is $353,059, and the 75th percentile is $557,898. The grants list shows repeated awards to the same local providers across multiple years, especially in elder-service contracts, which suggests ongoing service funding rather than one-time awards. The agency is a program funder and direct service supporter, not an individual funder, and it does not make program-related investments. Its active procurement and RFI/Q processes indicate that at least some awards are competitively sourced through provider selection for Older Americans Act programs.
