The Peyton Walker Foundation’s mission is to increase awareness and survival rates of Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA). As part of our mission, we donate Automated External Defibrillators (AED) to non-profit groups in the Central Pennsylvania region. Central Pennsylvania consists of the following counties: Adams, Berks, Cumberland, Dauphin, Franklin, Lancaster, Lebanon, Perry, York. Unfortunately, we are unable to donate outside of those counties.
We require that our Saving Lives Partners share the cost of the AED. The value of the AED is over $2,100, but we only request a minimum cost share of $350. Please confirm that your organization has the funds available to pay this fee.
To request an AED, have a designated person of your organization complete this AED Grant Application and email a copy of your 501c3 letter and an updated 990 or financial statement to aed@peytonwalker.org.
Applications deadlines are quarterly consisting of 3/31, 6/30, 9/30, and 12/15. We will review applications the following month after applications close. We will contact you if we need additional information or clarification. A list of what is included in the donation package is on our website at peytonwalker.flywheelsites.com.
Quick access to the AED is crucial to the efficacy of the chain of survival. The AED should be located where it is highly visible and immediately accessible to trained lay responders and the general public.
Your organization must have individuals trained in CPR/AED. The Peyton Walker Foundation offers CPR and AED training. We also recommend that a cardiac response plan is developed and implemented in your organization. For information on CPR/AED training dates and how to create a cardiac response plan, please visit our website at www.PeytonWalker.org.
Understanding where the AED is located and how it works is critical. We request that signs are placed on the entrance doors to your facility as well as at the location where it is stored. All members of your organization should be aware of its location and your cardiac response plan.
AEDs need to be checked routinely to ensure that they are in proper working condition. It is the organization’s responsibility to check the AED monthly and to replace the battery and pads approximately every three years. Pads will need replaced if they are used. Current replacement parts are available at PeytonWalker.org.
The Peyton Walker Foundation relies on backing from the community. We ask for your support to help us spread our life saving message through presentations, community events, and local media.
