About the PurpleAir Collective

This category houses topics related to the PurpleAir Collective program. Vote on who should receive a sensor or submit an application.

Summary

The PurpleAir Collective is a sensor donation initiative that empowers the air quality community. Through the program, anyone can apply to receive donated sensors.

One of PurpleAir’s core principles is to deliver meaningful data to the community. This program forwards that principal by providing sensors where they are most needed.


Process

The program follows four regular steps which are described below:

First, we collect program applications. When the program begins, we will accept applications on the community site and advertise on our social media platforms.

Second, after applications are received, we review and pare those applications down internally based on a number of factors. If you are applying, take care to submit a complete and refined application.

Third, we release a poll on the community site that contains summaries of the pared down applications. You, the community, vote on which applications you would like to see receive sensors.

Fourth, we announce the results of the poll and ship out the appropriate sensors.
