Overview

The ambitious community goal of Amber Alert GPS is to provide 1000 Amber Alert GPS 2G child tracking devices to families in high-risk areas across America. We believe and know that being able to keep track of a child will decrease the risk of abuse, rape, abduction, sexual abuse, and death...all of which are occurring more and more frequently in our country. All proceeds from this grant will go towards device and service plan costs and tech support. Not one grant dollar will go towards administrative costs. 

These Amber Alert GPS 2G devices cannot be resold; the proprietary tracking system technology is controlled only by Amber Alert GPS systems (no resale value).

Deliverables:

  • 1000 Amber Alert GPS 2G child tracking devices
  • 1000 Basic child tracking service plans for one year
  • Customer/tech support for each device

By distributing 1000 devices, we will reach enough children to save a child or prevent a tragedy.

How will the 250K be Used?

Budget Notes: No money will go towards administrative or capital costs. Every dollar will go towards the devices, the service plans, and the tech support for the devices.
