Climate & Clean Air Coalition (CCAC)

The Climate and Clean Air Coalition, or CCAC, is an international initiative focused on reducing short-lived pollutants such as black carbon, methane, and hydrofluorocarbons, three pollutants that have been shown to be partially responsible for climate change, poor air quality, and health problems around the world.  

Through advocating policy, providing technical support, and creating sustainable solutions that protect both our health and the climate, the CCAC works with governments, the private sector, and local communities to help reduce these pollutants. 

The CCAC is crucial in the fight against air pollution, something Levoit cares about deeply. Levoit’s Vital 200S Air Purifier works to remove pollutants like dust, dander, and harmful volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and contributes to cleaner indoor air. While supporting the CCAC helps bring cleaner air to the world, the Levoit Vital 200S helps improve air quality in your own home. 

How you can donate: The CCAC accepts donations through their website (found HERE), which directly supports their mission to reduce harmful emissions to create cleaner, healthier environments for vulnerable communities worldwide. 

Coalition for Clean Air (CCA)

The Coalition for Clean Air is a nonprofit dedicated to improving air quality and public health. Through advocacy, public policy, and community outreach, the CCA works to reduce emissions from vehicles, factories, and other pollution sources. They push tirelessly for cleaner transportation options and promote the use of renewable energy. Supporting CCA’s efforts is essential for the ongoing fight against air pollution, which affects millions of people daily. 

How you can donate: You can donate directly on the CCA’s website (found HERE). Your contribution helps fund advocacy efforts, public education campaigns, and legislative work to push for stronger environmental regulations and cleaner air standards. 

American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA)

The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals is one of the longest running and most recognizable animal welfare organizations in the United States. Their mission strives to prevent animal cruelty by providing rescue services, veterinary care, shelter, and adoption assistance. They also work to create animal rights legislation to protect animals from abuse and neglect. The ASPCA’s work saves countless animals and through supporting them, you’re helping to provide a voice for those who cannot speak for themselves.  

How you can donate: Donations can be easily made through the ASPCA website (found HERE). You can contribute with a one-time donation or set up a monthly pledge to support their ongoing efforts, with the ability to dedicate your donation to a loved one or pet. 

The Nature Conservancy (TNC)

The Nature Conservancy is a global environmental nonprofit focused on preserving the land and water on which all life depends. With projects in more than 70 countries, TNC works to protect natural habitats, prevent deforestation, preserve freshwater resources, and combat climate change. Their approach combines science, partnerships, and on-the-ground conservation efforts. 

The Nature Conservancy works to protect the very ecosystems we depend on for clean air, water, and food. By donating, you're supporting the long-term health of our planet and global sustainability.

 How to Find Local Charities

Websites like Charity Navigator (found HERE), GuideStar (HERE), and GoFundMe (HERE) allow you to search for charities based on location, cause, and legitimacy.
