Support Virufy's Critical Tax Filing Needs

Amil Khanzada is organizing this fundraiser to benefit The Covid Detection Foundation.

Tax deductible

Virufy is a nonprofit research organization developing a smartphone app to diagnose COVID-19 and other respiratory diseases through cough and breathing sound analysis. Our team comprises 60 partner organizations and 250 volunteers including faculty and alumni from Stanford, Harvard, Berkeley, CMU, UChicago, UW, and MIT.

We need to file our nonprofit tax return but given the complexity, need to hire an expert CPA accountant to file for us, estimated at $2,000-$2,500. Unfortunately, we are out of operating capital and our expected grant funds would not allow expenses for such hard operation costs (the grants funds are generally restricted for AI R&D and clinical work at universities).

We are now building a surveillance testing system to rapidly detect known and unknown respiratory disease presence across populations (e.g. in schools or elderly care homes) and forecast predicted spread patterns.

Virufy’s differentiators include our massive dataset of cough sounds collected under IRB approval from 250,000+ PCR-tested patients in five countries, Stanford-patented diagnosis algorithm with 84% sensitivity / 84% specificity, and powerful network with access to top government, academic, corporate leaders in 200+ nations.
