AED Grant InformationAED Grant Information
We frequently
see companies out there advertising grants for AED’s and money for the
placement for AED’s. Beware of some of these companies advertising
these grants. Some online AED companies will advertise AED’s at
list price, then they will ask you to fill out a bunch of “forms”, with
promises of an “anonymous” company or organization granting you a cash
grant (discount) for you to purchase an AED, which then brings the
price to what AEDUniverse.com already sells the devices for, meanwhile you
have wasted all that time filling out those papers.
There
are some
places you can go to find money for your AED program depending on your
situation. Here is a list of ideas and resources depending on your
industry or situation. We have searched high and low to discover
information on AED grants and here is what we have found. Keep in mind
that "true grants" can take a fair amount of time to complete and get
funding, you should also evaluate other funding options such as fund
raisers, local business support, PTA's, Rotary Clubs and others.

Schools and Non-Profit groups are probably the most likely to receive grant funding for AED programs from government sources.
Other ideas you might consider:

to find out which local corporations and hospitals have grants, funding
programs and foundations interested in school AED programs.

creative: Host a bake sale, collect donations at a sporting event, or
