What does Iqair Foundation fund most often?

It most often funds clean-air equipment and air purification installations for schools, residential programs, and other facilities. Recent grants repeatedly use the purpose text “providing equipment to provide clean air,” including awards to school sites in Oakland, Calexico, Thermal, Pasadena, and Roseville.

Does Iqair Foundation accept unsolicited applications?

Yes. Its active programs for Clean Air for Kids Grants and Community Air Monitoring both state that they accept unsolicited applications, including support for schools, charities, community organizations, nonprofits, and government agencies.

What is a typical grant size?

The typical grant size is relatively modest compared with the largest awards in the file: p25 is $14,488, median is $20,306, and p75 is $42,342. That suggests many awards are small to mid-sized even though some individual grants are much larger.

Who can receive support from the foundation's active programs?

Eligible recipients include schools, charities helping pre-school or elementary-age students, community organizations, nonprofits, and government agencies. The Clean Air for Kids Grants program specifically targets schools or charities serving young students, while the air monitoring programs support organizations building public air quality stations.

Does the foundation fund only California recipients?

In the grant data provided, yes: 100% of grants went to U.S. recipients, and every recent recipient listed is in California. The recent grants include cities such as La Mirada, Oakland, Mecca, Calexico, Thermal, Pasadena, Coachella, Roseville, and Sun Valley.

About Iqair Foundation

The IQAir Foundation primarily funds large, capital-equipment projects that improve indoor air quality, with a clear emphasis on installing clean-air systems in institutional and residential settings. Their giving is programmatic and operational—directly underwriting air purification equipment rather than broad advocacy or research—suggesting a pragmatic focus on immediate health protections. Recipients include school sites and residential programs, indicating concern for vulnerable indoor populations (children and households).

Focus Areas

Installation of air purification systems in K–12 school facilitiesProvision of clean-air equipment for residential buildings and householdsDirect capital support for indoor air quality interventions (equipment purchase and deployment)

Who They Fund

building occupants/facility users (e.g., schools, clinics, community centers)general community members (unspecified)

Giving Approach

Highly concentrated, high-dollar grants (three grants totaling ~$1.8M) focused on a small set of recipients; repeat funding to school-related sites and one large residential equipment award rather than many small grants or broad diversified giving.

About Iqair Foundation

A defining feature of Iqair Foundation’s grantmaking is its repeated underwriting of clean-air equipment for schools and other sites serving children and households in California. The largest recent grant in the file, $713,299 to Atem X Residential in La Mirada, points to a practical model: direct capital support for installing equipment that improves indoor air quality. That pattern continues across the recent grants list, where the foundation funded Other School Sites multiple times and also supported Kipp Bridge Academy in Oakland, Mcclymonds High School in Oakland, and St Mary's Center in La Mirada. The grantee names and award descriptions show a consistent emphasis on deployment rather than advocacy, research, or general operating support. Many awards are substantial enough to indicate full project implementation or phased installation work, with the stated purpose recurring as “providing equipment to provide clean air.” The foundation’s work centers on indoor air protection in institutional settings, especially schools, and extends to residential programs as well.

What Iqair Foundation Funds

Iqair Foundation’s most visible cause area is school-based indoor air quality. It gave $675,188 to Other School Sites for providing equipment to provide clean air, and $247,190 to Kipp Bridge Academy for the same purpose. In another school-focused example, the foundation awarded $200,060 to Mcclymonds High School to provide clean air equipment. The portfolio also includes support for residential settings: Atem X Residential received $713,299 for providing equipment to provide clean air, showing that the foundation funds households as well as classrooms. A third thread is direct infrastructure support for specific campuses and facilities, including $143,862 to Calexico High School and $104,979 to Allendale Elementary School, both for clean-air equipment. Across these grants, the purpose text stays narrowly tied to installation and deployment of air purification systems.

How Iqair Foundation Gives

Typical grants are in the mid-five-figure range, with a p25 of $14,488, median of $20,306, and p75 of $42,342. The recent grants list also shows repeated awards to the same recipients across multiple years, including Other School Sites, Calexico High School, Desert Mirage High School, Bobby Duke Middle School, Roseville Joint Union High School District, and Ousd Martin Luther Kind Jr Es. That pattern suggests recurring project support rather than isolated one-time grants. Iqair Foundation is an operating foundation in practice through direct equipment funding, and it also funds individuals. Its active grant programs accept unsolicited applications.
