Clubs Take Advantage of NEW Save A Life Grant

Earlier this year, the AMA Foundation announced a brand-new grant opportunity, the Save A Life Grant.

The Save A Life Grant was created to help promote safer and more medically equipped flying sites. This grant was designed to reimburse clubs for 25% (up to $200) of the cost of a recently purchased Automated External Defibrillator (AED). AEDs, which are easy to use, can be critical when helping someone who is experiencing sudden cardiac arrest.

So far this year, we have awarded $784.61 to 4 clubs across the country to continue in our goal of promoting safer and better-equipped flying sites.

Fox Valley Aero Club - $184.61 awarded

Northern Virginia Radio Control Club - $200 awarded

Bay City Flyers - $200 awarded

District of Columbia Radio Control (DCRC) - $200 awarded

Awards for the Save A Life Grant are based on a first-come, first-served basis. When the allotted budget for the year is reached, awards will be discontinued for the remainder of the year. Clubs can only be awarded a maximum of $200 per year, and AEDs must have been purchased within the last two months at the time of an application being submitted.

Just like the Disaster Relief Grant, Club Recognition and Reward Grant, Take off And Grow Grant, and Flying Site Improvement Grant, the Save A Life Grant is made possible by our donors and members.
