Clean Air Filtration Program
The Air District’s Clean Air Filtration Program helps vulnerable communities that are adversely affected by wildfire smoke and poor air quality obtain high efficiency air filtration units to reduce health impacts and exposure from fine particles in the air. Donations will fund the purchase of home air cleaners for vulnerable populations and aim to improve wildfire preparedness and health equity across the Bay Area. All proceeds will be allocated to projects identified by the Foundation's Board of Directors.

Offsite Mitigation Program
The Bay Area Clean Air Foundation’s Offsite Mitigation Program is designed to assist lead agencies in addressing air pollution impacts identified through the CEQA process that cannot be fully mitigated with on-site measures. The program, offered on a case-by-case basis, can provide air pollutant emission reductions through the funding and completion of beneficial incentive projects in the San Francisco Bay Area Air Basin.
