Clean Air Club: Growing our clean air library!

Emily Dupree is organizing this fundraiser.

Donation protected

Hello all! My name is Emily Dupree and I founded Clean Air Club, an organization that provides free air purifiers and far-UVC devices to Chicago artists and touring musicians so their shows are covid-safer. In 6 months, we've cleaned the air at hundreds of shows, reached tens of thousands of people, and improved the accessibility of Chicago's arts scene. All of this has been thanks to financial donations from *you* and equipment donations from manufacturers.

Our next step is raising funds for the following:

6 months of operating expenses (approx $50/mo)
Two Far-UVC "MVP" devices, which are highly portable devices to create a bubble of safer air ($400/ea)
Another Far-UVC Krypton Shield to loan out for free ($2,500)
HEPA filter replacements for our entire library of purifiers ($750)
Ongoing purchases of KN-95 masks and Covid tests to distribute to the community for free at music events ($400)

Every dollar you contribute goes towards creating clean air in our music scene. We have posted all of our expenditures from the first 6 months on instagram in order to be entirely financially transparent. The founder (me!) has never been paid for this work, nor have any of the amazing volunteers that help with admin, logistics, and transportation.

Please do consider donating to support all of our upcoming expenses. Thank you so so much. This has been a transformative experience, and I know that what we're doing is right for Chicago and for all musicians.
