AED’s are expensive. They do what they were designed to do; but they are expensive. The good news is that several organizations hand out AED grants to help reduce your expenses. This article will teach you where to find an AED grant and how to qualify for one.
The good news part 1 is that getting an AED grant is a snap…if you know what to say.
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 want some routine info about the number of AEDs you hope to obtain and what protocols your organization currently uses in the case of Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA).
But listen to this: surprisingly, dozens of organizations aren’t concerned with how many AEDs you want. If 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 factor for him (in approving AED grant applications) is the type and size of the organization. His number one aim is to place his money where he believed it would be of most use.
So, you see AED donors *favor* smaller organizations like…
- 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 get your hands on…if you know where to find them and how to search.
(If you have not already) try searching online using search terms like “AED Grants,” “Defibrillator Grants,” or “AED Sales.” Many donors maintain websites 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.
That said, if you or somebody you know could benefit from an AED grant, don’t wait. Start the application process now. Qualifying might be easier than you think.
