Common Questions Before You Apply

Quick answers to the questions applicants ask most often before submitting an AED Grant Program application.

Do we get reimbursed?

No. Program support is applied to approved AED pricing before purchase.

Do we have to decide now?

No. After approval, you can review AED options, program pricing, and next steps before deciding how to proceed.

Can we buy accessories?

Approved applicants may access eligible accessory pricing for pads, batteries, cabinets, and signs.

Need help choosing?

We can help compare AED models based on your facility, responders, and budget.

Applying & Approval

How do I apply?

Complete the online application on this page and submit it for review. You may also download the application, complete it, and return it by email, fax, or mail using the instructions provided.

How long until I hear back after I apply?

Applications are typically reviewed within 3-5 business days. Approved applicants are contacted with their available AED Grant Program options and next steps.

Are we eligible for the grant?

Most businesses, churches, schools, nonprofits, medical offices, fitness facilities, government agencies, public safety organizations, and individuals may apply. Retailers, AED dealers, and AED resellers are not eligible for this program.

How long are approvals good for?

Approvals are available for a limited time and may depend on AED availability, manufacturer participation, and current program funding. Your approval notice will include the applicable timing details and next steps.

If we cannot proceed now, can we reapply later?

Yes. If now is not the right time, you may reapply later. Program availability, AED models, and approved pricing may change over time.

Program Pricing & Ordering

Do we get reimbursed from the program?

No. The program does not send reimbursement checks or cash grants to applicants. Approved program support is applied directly to the AED purchase price when ordering through AEDGrant.com.

Can we make payments on an order?

Payment is generally required before an AED order is processed. If your organization requires a formal quote, invoice, purchase order, or internal approval process, let us know after approval so we can help provide the needed order documentation.

Can we purchase more units than we applied for?

In many cases, yes. If you need more AEDs than originally requested, let us know so your approval can be reviewed or updated.

Do we have to purchase the number of units we applied for?

No. The number you enter helps us understand your AED needs. After approval, you may choose the quantity that fits your facility needs and budget.

Can I order online?

Yes. Approved applicants may order online after receiving approval and account or order instructions from AEDGrant.com.

Why is the shipping fee based on the subtotal?

Shipping can vary based on AED model, accessories, order size, shipment value, destination, and carrier requirements. The website calculates shipping based on the order details available at checkout.

Is expedited shipping available?

Expedited shipping may be available depending on the AED model, inventory status, destination, and carrier options. Contact us before ordering if you have an urgent deadline.

AED Options & What Is Included

How do we know what AED is best for us?

The right AED may depend on your budget, facility size, whether children may be present, the number of expected responders, desired features, and whether you prefer a semi-automatic or fully automatic model. Approved applicants can review available AED options and select the model that best fits their needs.

What is included with the AEDs?

Each AED package may vary by model. AEDs typically include the AED unit and the standard accessories listed with that specific package, such as pads, battery, case, or setup items when included by the manufacturer. Cabinets, wall signs, pediatric pads, replacement batteries, and extra electrodes may be separate unless specifically listed.

What is the difference between semi-automatic and fully automatic?

A semi-automatic AED analyzes the heart rhythm and tells the rescuer when to press the shock button if a shock is needed. A fully automatic AED analyzes the heart rhythm and delivers the shock automatically if needed, after warning rescuers to stand clear.

How long is the AED good for?

The AED unit itself can last for many years when properly maintained. Pads and batteries have expiration dates and must be replaced according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

How long until we receive the AEDs?

Delivery time can vary by AED model, manufacturer availability, order processing, payment, prescription requirements when applicable, and shipping method.

Prescription, Training & Placement

Why is a prescription needed?

Some AEDs may require a prescription or medical authorization. If the AED you choose requires a prescription and you do not already have one, AEDGrant.com can help approved applicants with the necessary documentation.

Is AED training required for us to purchase and house the units?

Training is strongly recommended. AED laws and requirements can vary by state and organization type, so applicants should review local requirements. CPR/AED training helps responders feel more confident and prepared.

Is training included with purchase?

Training is not automatically included with every AED purchase unless it is specifically listed or quoted. Let us know if your organization needs CPR/AED training.

Where do we place the AED at our facility?

The AED should be easy to see, easy to access, and located where it can be retrieved quickly during an emergency. Larger buildings, multiple floors, multiple buildings, locked areas, outdoor areas, or vehicles may require more than one AED.

Do you come onsite to install the AED?

Onsite installation is not automatically included with AED purchase. Many AED cabinets and wall signs can be installed by a facility manager, maintenance team, or local contractor.

Accessories & Maintenance

Does the program offer grants for AED parts or accessories?

Approved applicants may have access to program pricing on eligible AED accessories such as replacement electrodes, batteries, cabinets, wall signs, and other AED supplies.

What is needed for AED maintenance?

Most AEDs perform regular self-checks and display a readiness indicator. The main maintenance responsibility is to visually check the AED, confirm it shows ready status, and replace pads or batteries before they expire or after use.

Do you offer maintenance services for the AEDs?

AEDGrant.com can help approved applicants understand replacement pad and battery needs and provide eligible accessories for supported AED models. Contact us to review available ongoing service options.

Still Have Questions?

What should I do if I am unsure about my AED needs?

Submit the application with your best estimate and include any questions in the message field. Our review team can help clarify AED quantity, placement, accessories, and available program options.

What if our organization needs a quote before ordering?

Approved applicants may request the documentation needed for internal review, budget approval, purchase order processing, or board approval.
