About Senior Connection Center
Senior Connection Center Inc concentrates its grantmaking on aging services that help older adults and people with disabilities live with independence and dignity. In the recent grants list, the largest awards went to Hillsborough County Dept of Aging Services in Tampa for elder and caregiver assistance, social activities, and nutrition, including $11,873,628 in 2024 and $11,524,188 in 2025. That scale signals a funder that uses large operating-style contracts to support core service delivery rather than small project grants. The pattern extends across multiple local providers serving seniors and caregivers in central and southwest Florida. Seniors First Inc in Orlando received several multi-million-dollar awards for the same service bundle, while Mid-fl Community Services in Brooksville and Nu-hope Elder Care Services Inc in Sebring also appear repeatedly. Meals on Wheels Plus of Manatee Inc in Bradenton shows up with grants tied to social activities and nutrition, and Manatee County Community and Veteran Services Department receives support that also includes energy assistance. The portfolio points to a direct-service model centered on maintaining day-to-day support for older adults, with additional attention to veteran-directed care, legal help, and social connection.

Aging services are the clearest thread in the grant record.

Nutrition and social engagement appear as recurring components rather than stand-alone projects. Meals on Wheels Plus of Manatee Inc received $2,321,270 in 2024 for social activities and nutrition, followed by $1,706,090 in 2025 for social activities/services. The foundation also supports utility and energy help for seniors. It awarded $332,386 in 2023 and $160,531 in 2025 to The Agricultural and Labor Program Inc in Lake Alfred for energy assistance. Legal and benefit-related support appears as well, including grants to Bay Area Legal Services Inc and Gulfcoast Legal Services Inc for elder and caregiver assistance/services.
