AED Grants are available for low income Youth Sports Organizations or organizations looking to purchase 5 or more AEDS during the national SAVE A CHILD'S LIFE: AN AED FOR EVERY TEAM campaign.

MomsTeam Media in association with Teams of Angels, has allocated these special grant awards toward the full or partial purchase of an AED during the Campaign. To apply, fill out the one page grant application completely, sign and fax to the number on the form.

This special grant program is designed to help tax-deductible not-for-profit organizations in every state deploy AEDs at an affordable price.

Since the start of our Grant Program MomsTeam Media has placed 27 AEDs with Youth Sports related organizations. We will do our best to continue with our outreach.

Alternate Funding Information

Finding funds to support implementation and maintenance of AED (automated external defibrillation) programs in the community is easier than many people realize.

Step 1: Estimate projected program costs

The first step is to estimate projected program costs. Annual costs can include the following:

• Devices (about $1,600 per unit) (unless you can find a Group Buying Program that has been able to reduce the price)

• Peripheral equipment costs (about $75 per device)

• Maintenance (about $100 per device)

• Insurance (variable)

• Training costs (variable: includes personnel and equipment)

• Program management costs (variable)

• Event documentation costs (variable)

• Quality assurance tools (variable)

• Community-wide CPR training (variable)

Step 2: Explore direct funding options

The next step is to determine whether costs can be funded directly through community or agency budgets. This is the simplest, most direct approach and it may be all you will need to do. For example, a city recreation department that has been educated about the serious public health problem of sudden cardiac arrest and the need for prompt universal access to defibrillation may simply vote to include AED program implementation costs in the next budget cycle.

Step 3: Explore alternate funding options

If AED program costs cannot be funded directly, it is necessary to explore alternative funding sources, such as:

• Local corporations and industries

• Civic organizations

• Private foundations

• Public charities

• Government grants

• Traditional fund-raisers
