April 2025 Donation Poll

PurpleAir Donation Program Donation Polls
1

The results are now live! You can view them here.

Hello!

Thank you to everyone one who submitted applications to our donation program, and thank you to all who are about to vote! The people of our community are who make it possible for PurpleAir to exist and thrive. As such, we want to support you as best we can.

Due to restrictions placed on poll size by the community platform, we’ve had to split the submissions into three different polls below. You can vote once in each of the polls. So, in addition to voting on your own, read up on some of the other applications and give your support!

Each application is linked in the corresponding poll.

These polls will be open until Tuesday, July 8th, at which point they will close. Applications will not be determined by who has more votes within a poll, but rather by overall votes regardless of which poll they are in.

Thank you for supporting PurpleAir, and good luck!

If you would like something changed about how your submission is represented in the polls below, please message @Kieran.

Brazil — and especially the Amazon — worked hard for every single vote.

We spent entire days mobilizing: asking for votes in broad daylight, face to face, one conversation at a time.

Nothing came out of nowhere. Every click was earned through real effort, by people who believe in science and stand by their cause.

Regardless of the outcome, what we built was legitimate, collective, and beautiful.

Here, science breathes with truth — and in the full light of day. :deciduous_tree::lungs::brazil:

I voted for you guys. I hope they have good investigative methods to verify the votes all parties received to make sure it is decided fairly. You guys were in the lead most of the time. I will check out your website and maybe be able to donate towards your work outside this forum.

Hi, @PurpleSubmarine

We’re truly grateful for your vote and appreciate your concern about the voting process. We’ve put in more effort than one can imagine to win this poll, and we’re now hoping for the best outcome.

Although we don’t have a website yet, you can check out our work group’s page on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gteam.ufpa.

Feel free to reach out to me via my professional email: smardegan@ufpa.br.

You have no idea how meaningful your donation could be for our work.

All the best,
Silvia
