Put an AED where your kids already are
An AED in the building turns the first minutes of a cardiac arrest into a survivable event — tell us where one is needed.
About five minutes. Nothing to print or sign.
Why it matters
Why a device on the wall changes the outcome
Minutes are the whole story
Chances of survival fall by roughly ten percent for every minute that passes before a shock is delivered. Emergency services rarely arrive inside that window. Someone already in the building can.
Anyone can use one
An AED speaks aloud and walks the person holding it through every step. It reads the heart's rhythm first and will not deliver a shock to a heart that doesn't need one. No medical training is required to save a life with it.
It has to already be there
Young hearts stop in classrooms, gyms, pools and on practice fields. A device three buildings away, or locked in an office after hours, protects nobody. Where it lives matters as much as having one.
Eligibility
Who can apply
Anywhere children and young adults gather regularly. You do not need to be a medical organization, and you do not need to have been through this before — if you are not sure whether your site fits, apply anyway and tell us about it.
Schools
Elementary through high school — classrooms, gymnasiums, auditoriums and athletic fields.
Sports clubs & teams
Practice fields, courts, tracks and pools, where hard exertion makes a cardiac event more likely to surface.
Youth & community organizations
After-school programs, summer camps, scouting groups, community centers and childcare.
Faith communities
Congregations and their youth programs — anywhere families gather week after week.
The process
How it works
- 1
You send us the application
The form on this page is the whole application. It comes straight to our team — no third-party form, no account to create.
- 2
Someone reads it
Every application is read by a person on our team. If anything is unclear, or we want to understand your site better, we'll email you and ask.
- 3
We talk it through with you
Where the AED would live, who is responsible for it, who needs to know how to use it, and what happens when the pads and battery expire.
- 4
It goes where the people are
Placement and access are part of the decision, not an afterthought. A device nobody can reach in ninety seconds is not protecting the people it was meant for.

We use your details only to work with you on this application. We never share or sell them.
This form is not an emergency service
If someone is in cardiac arrest right now, call 911 and start chest compressions immediately. If there is an AED nearby, send someone for it and switch it on — it will tell you exactly what to do.
Knowing what to do matters as much as the device
An AED tells you what to do, but the compressions in between are yours. We teach both, free, to any family who wants to learn.
