FAQ

The price of an AED device with maintenance fees remains constant but there are a few variables that can change the overall price of the device. The city and state taxes along with storage options (backpack, outdoor cabinet and indoor cabinet) will change depending on where the device is going and how it will be stored.

We created this initiative so that anyone can easily raise money for an AED. We heard too many stories about youth facilities that wanted an AED but didn’t have the money or a plan to get one.

Just a little. GotAED keeps a very small portion of the funds raised from successful campaigns to help cover the costs of operating this business. Everything else goes to our AED distributor and credit card processor.

My high school was going under major construction and I knew we needed another AED. Thanks to GotAED, that happened in just a few weeks and I am forever grateful!

GotAED was the perfect way to raise money to get a much needed AED at my sister’s soccer complex. The website is extremely easy to use and navigate!

We didn’t have an AED device for our athletic facility. The team at GotAED helped us secure one. Now, all of our youth soccer players are protected.

Our state of the art tennis facility has been around for years but we never had an AED device. The team at GotAED helped us secure one. I believe that this site will help hundreds of youth organizations.

It’s simple, there is no substitute to being prepared to act as AED’s save lives. Because of GotAED, never before has it been easier to make these life-saving devices available to where kids play.
