What is an AED grant?

An AED grant is usually a cash grant given so that the grant winner can purchase an AED and sometimes related accessories, like extra electrode pads, batteries, a case or cabinet or other items.

How long does the grant process take?

A grant project can take weeks or months to complete. If your needs are more immediate, we suggest looking toward civic groups such as your local Lions Clubs, Moose Lodges, Elks Clubs, Kiwanis, Rotary Clubs, and Masonic Temples. If your project is aimed at the well-being of children, a local Optimist Club could also be a source.

Churches often look directly to their own congregations for help. We know of several large churches and synagogues that have collected enough money during a single service to fund the purchase of their AEDs!

If you are a non-profit serving children in the Midwest and western states, you may qualify for assistance through the Union Pacific Foundation.

The Wal-Mart Foundation has a Community & Giving Program which provides assistance to improve the lives of individuals in their communities.

Also, the Target Foundation sponsors grants for K-12 schools and other non-profit organizations.

How do I write a grant for an AED?

The key is to follow the instructions and submit everything the specific grant requires. The level of detail you need to provide will probably vary depending on the organization you’re requesting the grant from, and it’s important to take that into account. Don’t skip anything that’s asked for, and be as specific and factual as you can. For more help writing grant requests, you can check out our resource page offer guidance and resources to help you through the research and writing process that comes with grant applications.

Where can I apply for an AED grant?

Great question! You can apply for AED Superstore’s grant, which is awarded twice a year, once in June and once in December. Each grant is worth $2,000 and can be applied to the purchase of any AED listed for sale at AEDSuperstore. Leftover funds may be used to purchase AED accessories or supplies. You can also apply for other AED grants we’ve found through our research, or you can do your own research and find other organizations that are offering grants for which you may qualify.

How hard is it to get an AED grant?

As with most grant or donation programs, competition is usually moderately stiff. There are a lot of people with worthy causes or needs. Making sure your grant is written well and meets each specific requirement for a given grant program is important for giving you the best chance of winning a grant. You can also simplify your process by writing up your grant request in a way that makes it easy to slightly alter it and create different versions for each grant you’d like to apply for, instead of writing new requests for every grant you’re applying for.

back to top

Do we need to apply for separate grants to get more than one unit?

That’s going to depend on the specific grant and how it’s structured. For our AED Superstore grant, we provide a flat $2,000 amount first applied to an AED unit, and leftover funds can be applied to accessories on our site. Other organizations’ grants might be structured to provide just an AED, cash, a “starter kit” of an AED plus some accessories or in other ways. Read through what the award will cover before applying to make sure it matches your needs and prevent spending time on grants that won’t ultimately provide what you’re looking for.

back to top

What are the deadlines for grant applications?

Deadlines for grant applications vary per grant. Many grant application periods open at the beginning of the year and close toward the third quarter. AEDSuperstore has two application periods for grant applicants. One application period starts January 1 and closes June 1. The second application period starts June 3 and closes December 1.

back to top

Should I use a grant writing professional?

If you’re considering using a professional grant writer, here are some questions you should think about to help you decide:

  • Do you have time to do the research and fill out applications?
  • Are you a good writer? You don’t have to be brilliant with words, but you do need to be able to communicate clearly and edit your work to ensure it’s error-free.
  • Look through some applications for grants you’d like to receive. Do you feel confident filling these out or are there questions you wouldn’t know how to answer?

Generally speaking, the larger the grant you’re applying for, the more stringent the application will be. If you’re trying to obtain a large grant from a big company or funding organization and you believe you’re a good match for the grant, investing in a professional to help you present your needs may be a wise choice.

back to top

How do I avoid false grant schemes?

Unfortunately, some AED dealers may advertise a brand-name AED, and then ask customers to complete an extensive “grant” application to become eligible to save hundreds of dollars. As a result, customers may release confidential information, waste valuable time filling out unnecessary forms, and end up paying more for an AED than if it were purchased outright from a reputable dealer.

We strongly recommend avoiding grant schemes offered directly by AED dealers. Reputable companies like AEDSuperstore have prices below so-called grant specials, and with no extensive forms to complete.

At AEDSuperstore, we understand that for some communities and organizations, being awarded a grant is the only option to access funds to purchase life-saving equipment like an automated external defibrillator for your community. Not only do we want to provide the resources to find grants, but we want to give you tips for writing a successful grant.

Before submitting a grant application, ask yourself the following questions to help make writing your grant a seamless process:

  1. What components is the foundation offering the grant looking for, and do they align with what you need?
  2. What resources are available and needed to aid in the research and writing process?
  3. When is it time to submit your application?

What components is the foundation offering the grant looking for, and do they align with what you need?

Before you can even begin thinking about writing your grant, it’s important to understand the types of grants available and which one best fits your organization’s needs.

The most common types of grants available are:

  • Capital grants: Capital grants are great for companies looking to fund new AED programs or public access defibrillator programs. They also are typically used for projects like building purchases, new construction, renovations, etc.
  • Crowdfunding: Crowdfunding consists of raising a large amount of money from individuals who may not live in your community. Sources that use crowdfunding include GoFundMe, GotAED.com, and Kickstarter.
  • Employee match grants: Employee match grants are when companies match an employee’s donation to a charity or cause of their choice.
  • In-kind donations: In-kind donations are when donations are made in the form of goods or services rather than monetary.
  • Matching grant: A matching grant is when a company that is requesting a grant raises money that is then matched by the donor organization, which then can be used to fund projects, purchases, or equipment for the company.
  • Project-based grants: Project-based grants are awarded to organizations and companies for a specific project or program. These are great for individuals, organizations, schools, or state and local government projects.

As you start to understand which type of grant you are interested in, you may find multiple grants in one category that may be a right fit. Before submitting applications to them all, it’s important to question whether or not it’s worth your time. Grant proposals can take a lot of time and effort, so being sure you understand the eligibility guidelines, deadlines, and the amount the grant is worth is crucial before the writing process begins.

When choosing a grant that aligns with your organization’s needs, it’s important to start considering the type of questions you may want to answer in your grant proposal to be sure they match the organization’s ideal grant winner. Ask yourself the following questions:

What resources are available and needed to aid in the research and writing process?

AEDSuperstore is here to help to the best of our ability when it comes to finding a grant that best fits your needs. We offer resources for fire/EMS grants, nonprofit grants, school grants, and community grants. We realize that there are thousands of grants available, and we may not have the right one for you listed. Check out the following resources that will help generate a more extensive list of grants available:

Maybe you already found the grant you are looking for but may not have the lift among your team for the time and effort it takes to fill out and submit grant applications. Reviewing previous grant application examples can take hours and may or may not be helpful if it’s not related to your specific grant ask.

We recommend exploring grant writing resources that give you tips on how to write, offer freelance grant writing services, or provide you with grant writing software to take some of the heavy lifting from your team. Check out the resources below that are designed to help you create your grant content or, in some cases, write your content for you:

When is it time to submit your application?

Finally, we’ve made it to the last step! You have chosen your grant and used all the resources needed to draft your grant application. The final step is to submit your application.

Before jumping the gun and submitting your grant application, it’s important to remember the questions you asked yourself when searching for the right grant at the beginning of this process. Do a thorough final review of your application and be sure you answered all of the following questions on your checklist:

After hitting these key points, double-check that all required fields are filled out on your application document. Also, take a moment to verify that you are submitting your application within the specified deadline. We recommend marking the due date on your calendar. Try not to wait until the last day to be sure no last-minute changes make you miss your deadline.

Once you have submitted your application, you’re all set – now we wait! Most grant programs feature an announcement date in their grant guidelines, so keep an eye out for the moment you don’t want to miss – when your grant application is accepted!
