AED’s are expensive.  They can save lives; still, they are expensive.  Fortunately, several organizations award AED grants to help cut your expenses.  This article will teach you how to get 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 to say. 

You see, most companies will require 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 employs in the event of Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA).

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

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

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 have not already) search the internet using keywords like “AED Grants,” “Defibrillator Grants,” or “AED Sales.”  Many organizations have sites with online applications and the forms take minutes to fill out. 

Best of all, a few grant donors can process your application in as little as one week and reduce prices by 20%.

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