AED’s can be pricey.  They can save lives; however they are expensive.  The good news is that a handful of companies award AED grants to help reduce your costs.  This article will teach 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 not difficult…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 want some routine information concerning 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 about how many AEDs you need.  Whether you need 5 or 10 defibrillators–or only 1–it doesn’t matter to them. 

No organization or request is too little.  In fact, I overheard one donor admit that the most important factor for him (in evaluating AED grant applications) is the size and type of the organization.  His #1 goal is to put his funds where he believed it would be of most use.

So, you see 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 easy to get your hands on…if you know where to look and how to search.

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

Best of all, some grant donors will process your application in as little as seven days and reduce prices by 20%.

That said, if you or somebody you know might benefit from an AED grant, don’t wait.  Start the application process now.  Qualifying may be easier than you think.
