AED Grants–How To Apply

AED’s can be pricey.  They work; however they are expensive.  But there’s good news… a handful of companies award AED grants to help cut your costs.  This article will teach you how to find an AED grant and how to qualify for one.

The good news (part 1) is that qualifying for an AED grant is not hard…if you know what grant organizations want to hear. 

You see, most organizations will require a(n)

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

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

But get this:  surprisingly, many grant organizations aren’t concerned about how many defibrillators you want.  Whether you want five or ten AEDs–or just one–it doesn’t matter to them. 

No organization or need is too small.  Believe it or not, I overheard one donor say that the most important criterion for him (in evaluating AED grant applications) is the size and type of the organization.  His number one goal was to place his money where he felt it would be of most use.

In other words 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 haven’t yet) try searching the internet using keywords like “AED Grants,” “Defibrillator Grants,” or “AED Sales.”  Many organizations have websites with online applications and the forms can be filled out in minutes. 

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

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