Non-Profit Application

Through community fundraising, AED FOR ALL places fully-funded AEDs directly into Santa Clarita non-profits. You will not be asked to purchase a device. As a recipient organization, you receive:

A wall-mounted AED unit, installed at your site
Basic CPR/AED training for 3 staff or key volunteers
Exterior signage/stickers so your AED is visible to the community
Guidance on registering the unit with your local EMS agency, as required by California law

Your part is simple: give it a home, make sure people can find it, and keep it ready.

What to Budget For

The AED itself is covered — but every AED requires ongoing maintenance, and as the host site, your organization is responsible for keeping the device ready to use. California law (Health & Safety Code §1797.196) requires AED owners to inspect the unit every 90 days, test it biannually, and keep maintenance records. Here’s what that typically costs and looks like in practice:

Battery & pad replacement	$100 – $300 per year, depending on use and model
Routine inspection	A few minutes every 90 days — check the ready light, expiration dates
Staff refresher training	Renewed every 1–2 years to stay current

AED FOR ALL will check in on your unit once a year, but the day-to-day readiness of the AED is the responsibility of the recipient site.

Becoming a Recipient Site

Opting in is straightforward. Here’s what we ask of every organization we place an AED with:

Confirm a location — a visible, accessible wall space (not locked away in an office) where staff and visitors can reach the AED quickly in an emergency.
Add exterior signage — we provide door/window stickers with the universal AED symbol so emergency responders and neighbors passing by know help is on-site before they even step inside.
Designate a point person — someone on staff who completes basic training, keeps an eye on the 90-day inspection, and lets us know if anything needs attention.
Stay reachable — so we can support you with training refreshers, maintenance reminders, and replacement parts as needed (as funds become available).
