AED Grants Explained

by on Aug.24, 2009, under investment

AED’s can be pricey.  They work; however they are expensive.  The good news is that a handful of organizations offer AED grants to help offset your expenses.  This article will show you where to get an AED grant and how to qualify for it.

The good news (part 1) is that getting an AED grant is a snap…if you know what grant organizations want to hear. 

You see, most organizations will ask for a(n)

- Organization Name
- Grant Application Contact Name
- Contact Phone Number
- Address
- Contact Email Address

And they’ll ask for some typical information about the number of AEDs you want and what protocols your organization currently uses in the case of Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA).

But listen to this:  surprisingly, many grant organizations aren’t concerned with how many AEDs you want.  Whether you need 5 or 10 defibrillators–or just one–it doesn’t matter to them. 

No organization or request is too little.  Believe it or not, I heard one donor admit that the most important criterion for him (in approving AED grant applications) is the type and size of the organization.  His #1 goal is to put his funds where he felt it would do the most good.

In other words AED donors *favor* smaller organizations such as…

- Schools
- Churches
- Fire and Police Departments
- Dental Offices
- Community Centers
- City and County Municipalities
- Volunteer Groups
- Sporting Organizations
- and even Individuals 
    

The good news (part 2), is that AED grants are not hard to come by…if you know where to find them and how to search.

(If you haven’t yet) try searching online using search terms like “AED Grants,” “Defibrillator Grants,” or “AED Sales.”  Many donors maintain sites with online applications and the forms take minutes to fill out. 

Best of all, some donors can process your application in as little as 1 week and offer discounts of up to 20% off.

So, if you or somebody you know might benefit from an AED grant, don’t wait.  Start the application process today.  Qualifying might be simpler than you think.
