Status update - ~$95,000 total raised!
Published on April 20, 2020 by Lan Xuezhao

Dear Contributors,

Thank you so much for donating to Project Cupcake! We hope to bring some delight to the world by helping everyone get PPE. We have 20,000 NIOSH N95 (FDA-approved N95 masks for medical professionals) on the way. Funded by you all (about ~$20,000 today) and donations Vlad has collected by emailing people (~$50,000). These are from a Taiwanese company called San Huei. They are on the approval list of both CDC and China export authorities. You can read the factory inspection report by NIOSH in this folder. NIOSH N95 masks are the gold standard for n95 and safest for healthcare professionals to use and fully-compliant with all U.S. regulations.

We've also previously donated 10,000 N95 masks funded by our personal capital of about $25,000 (Elizebeth, Vlad, Marjorie, and a few contributors you can see here as well). These are from a factory called ShengJingTang, more detailed reports in this folder. They went to doctors and nurses in CA, NY, OR and MI. Each contributor responsible for the donation will post more details once they become available.

If you have specific requests for where the new shipments should go, please let us know. Right now, most of the 20,000 new shipments are coming to CA and east coast (New York, Boston).

Thank you again for your support.
