While we don’t keep a list handy of available AED grants, because grant availability is always changing, and the parameters of each grant will vary based on the funding organization’s targeted beneficiaries, we can tell you that a well-written grant application will likely go a long way toward getting the defibrillator funding your organization or AED program needs.
When searching for an AED grant, don’t limit your internet search to “AED grants.” The simple reason is that this search is very narrow, and funding specifically rendered for AEDs will be few and far between. That said, check with local community resources. Offices like your local elected representatives may know where to point you in the right direction.
You could also put a call out on social media asking if anyone in your youth organization’s network knows of community grants or foundations that have specifically set aside money for things like this. There are often many opportunities available for funding various community projects, and chances are you may be able to secure money through a fund that has a wider range of application.
If you have found a potential opportunity to fund an AED, be sure to outline both the ways in which your organization benefits the community as well as the ways in which the availability of an AED would benefit your organization and the wider community.
Sometimes finding an AED grant can prove to be difficult, if not impossible. However, that doesn’t negate the fact that your youth organization would provide a safer environment for the children it supports with access to a defibrillator. The amazing thing about communities is the way in which they come together to support their members. You might be surprised at just how willing people are to pitch in and help a good cause. If you would like to start a crowdfunding campaign for AED funding to benefit the youth-based organization you represent, connect with us anytime. We’d love to help!
