Help us take our high-CADR air purifier designed for schools and public spaces from a prototype to a product!

We are in the process of developing VELLO, a modular, high Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR) air purifier that ships flat, can be assembled in minutes with no tools, and uses non-proprietary MERV-13 and carbon filters. With a maximum airflow of 560 cfm, VELLO will be one of the lowest CADR-per-dollar devices available on the market.

VELLO is at the Alpha prototype stage, and we are in the process of finalizing contracts with product development partners to begin Stage 2, which would scale VELLO from a prototype to a commercial product. We are seeking $10,000 in crowdfunded support to pay our legal team and other overhead fees for December and January, as we negotiate contracts with our product development team and larger grantors.

Once in production, VELLO will support a sustainable clean air access model. Revenue from unit sales, combined with philanthropic support, will be used to provide free or subsidized purifiers to schools, shelters, and other high risk congregate settings that face repeated respiratory threats including PM2.5, VOCs, COVID-19, influenza, wildfire smoke and mold contamination. This infrastructure ensures that individuals and communities with constrained budgets can adopt legacy air safety strategies that maximize health equity.

Thanks to a generous match, donations will be matched 2x up to $2,500 until December 31, 2025!

About Us

Air Support Project is a 501c3 nonprofit dedicated to making clean indoor air accessible to everyone. Our mission is to deliver affordable, science-backed air quality solutions to indoor spaces where people face the greatest risks from airborne illness, pollution, and environmental hazards. We envision a future where clean indoor air is as universal and expected as clean water, and where every community has the tools to protect health through effective ventilation and filtration.

Our activities in 2025 included:

Completing the Alpha phase of Vello R&D
Deploying two free open-source web apps for clean air risk management: Airwareness and Air Scholar
Bringing the clean air community and public health communities together in our regular Twitter Spaces on clean air-related topics, including wildfire relief, IAQ in schools, Long COVID advocacy, and Far UVC.
Building Corsi-Rosenthal Boxes for Heat Relief Centers in Phoenix, Arizona

We are hoping to expand our reach in 2026 with the support of donors like you!
