Summary

What do they do? Coalition for Clean Air advocates for cleaner transportation and freight, community air monitoring and public education. Its EPA-funded AirAware partnership operates at two YMCA facilities within Los Angeles County, alongside a Corona-Norco site outside this edition. Its ports work seeks stronger emissions controls and implementation for residents exposed to freight pollution.

Why we’re interested in this organization:

  • Local reports identify concrete filtration and operating constraints rather than counting publicity as health outcomes.

  • Current agency plans establish which infrastructure and incentive commitments already exist, allowing an explicit additional-work comparison.

  • Original recipient returns and a large older-adult pollution study make cost and health assumptions inspectable.

Our main reservations:

  • The additional policy probability, local exposed cohort, pollution reduction and gift response remain unmeasured judgments.

  • No priced next-dollar work plan or signed household resource incidence establishes donor room or a complete welfare estimate.

  • Port pollution crosses the metro boundary; local projects and statewide CARB projections cannot establish the LA beneficiary share.

What do you get for your dollar? $1.0M per DALY in Los Angeles. DALY is our one-year comparison unit. QALY-based health gains and income-welfare equivalents retain their original assumptions; they are not measured clinical DALYs. Conditional LA/Orange health and signed consumption equivalents; partial pathway, not donor-ready..

Additional annual ambient PM2.5 exposure reduction among an explicitly modeled older cohort; finite discounted all-cause survival differences, without adding overlapping mortality/morbidity or lead/IQ units. Signed additional household consumption: private care/work gains after taxes/benefit withdrawal/work costs, compliance losses and separate counterparty/displacement losses. No survivor wages, gross medical savings or construction spending.

1. What do they do?

Coalition for Clean Air (EIN 23-7120567) is the California recipient, not the international Climate and Clean Air Coalition. General donations support policy, education, community projects and overhead. The current organization page identifies statewide clean-transportation and air-protection work; many historical achievements already belong in the counterfactual.

The AirAware project is EPA-funded with TD Enviro and IQAir. Its 'Los Angeles area' description includes Corona-Norco, which is outside this LA-plus-Orange-county boundary. The other two facilities are verified within LA County: Southeast-Rio Vista in Maywood and Weingart East Los Angeles. No equal one-third project weighting is used.

2. Monitoring and information sharing

The current Southeast-Rio Vista report documents eight purifiers installed in March 2026 versus a room-sizing target of fifteen. Funds, available outlets and wall space constrained placement. The large gym received three units where roughly six were indicated. Higher fan speeds did not materially resolve the large-room filtration problem; the report also identifies doors and indoor sources. Thus seven units is a sizing shortfall, not a verified cash-only waiting list.

The Weingart report reports six units against an eight-unit target. It records an apparently user-changed low setting in one multipurpose room from May 7 until correction on July 16, and possible HVAC problems. Device purchase is only one route: operating settings and source control may be cheaper, but partners may already do them. The report's exact initial installation dates vary internally, so only March 2026 is asserted here.

Both reports are labeled April–June but include July observations or actions. Publication dates are left unknown rather than inferred from the July 1 filenames. Indoor-versus-outdoor reductions, changes in outside pollution and overnight fireworks when buildings may be closed cannot establish additional occupied personal exposure. The next data request is room-level occupied person-hours, age mix, observed concentrations with and without additional devices/settings, lifecycle costs and what EPA/YMCA/IQAir resources will already cover.

3. Qualitative assessment

A large Medicare analysis provides the external PM2.5 mortality benchmark used in the diagnostic: its most conservative full-cohort hazard ratio was 1.06 per 10 micrograms/m³. Causal interpretation still depends on confounder control and transfer across ages and pollutant mixtures. It is not a clinical result for YMCA children or a few hours of indoor exercise. Clinical morbidity, mortality and black-carbon pathways should not be added independently when they describe overlapping exposure or outcomes.

The current ports agreement and September 2026 addendum are already part of the baseline. They establish infrastructure planning and ship/truck incentive design, including a $40 million off-port infrastructure commitment. That is not a CCA grant or measured emissions reduction. The addendum explicitly leaves participation outside ports' control and requires future budgets, targets and tracking metrics.

CCA could improve incentive design, uptake or accountability. But the source does not identify a current extra-dollar work package, its effect on the number of additional cleaner trips, the dirty trips actually displaced, or LA/Orange exposure under competing designs. Transported pollution and truck routes extend into the Inland Empire and beyond; a port address cannot set the beneficiary share to one. A model multiplying an invented small advocacy probability by an invented large health total would hide, rather than resolve, the decisive uncertainty.

4. What do you get for your dollar?

The conditional central remains approximately $1.0M per DALY: one modeled equivalent year in LA/Orange. A $10,000 ordinary-gift normalization yields 0.01 clinical QALYs and zero central resource equivalents by neutral-sign judgment. It is a partial planning illustration, not observed charity effectiveness. Clinical QALYs remain separate from consumption equivalents.

The model charges five full FY2025 budgets of $2,494,912, including shared administration, fundraising and event expenses once. Additional technical/policy effort is judged to change the probability of a local freight-pollution increment by 10 percentage points over that five-year effort, beyond existing rules, partner action and funded infrastructure. A 50% marginal funding response separately addresses replacement funding and capacity; coalition attribution is already inside that 10-point probability. For $10,000, donor-attributable probability is 0.0000400816. No priced marginal staff tranche verifies this linear response.

Conditional on implementation after three years, 500,000 older residents alive then experience 0.2µg/m³ lower annual ambient PM2.5. These local exposure figures are judgments. The external HR 1.06/10µg/m³ is multiplied on log-risk by 0.7; annual competing mortality 0.035, survivor utility 0.75 and finite ten-year horizon are unvalidated prognosis priors. Half the effect is durable; half accelerates the same reform by three years. The latter credits the finite survival difference against later implementation, not permanent prevention. Primary study

Current adopted controls, the executed ports agreement/addendum and its $40 million commitment are baseline. The gift cannot buy existing YMCA devices or past corrections. CCA-specific additional uptake, enforcement, design or accountability must exceed those commitments. California CARB's 230 statewide projected premature deaths are not transplanted to LA; regional exposure evidence is missing.

Signed resources: the central zero is a judgment about unresolved net sign, not proof of no household benefit. A transparent diagnostic considers 1,000 baseline-alive households with $100 annual private-care/work gains after tax, benefits and work-cost offsets; a 50% positive overlap adjustment leaves $50, then full $20 compliance costs produce net $30 before log. A disjoint 1,000 counterparty households lose $10 annually. No extra-survivor earnings or gross public/insurance savings are counted. These counts/dollars are illustrative, not measured. Resource years follow the 10-year durable/three-year acceleration branches with delay and discounting. Comparison method

That positive-ledger case contributes 0.000042893 equivalent years, yielding $999K per DALY. Holding the identical financial ledger while making clinical benefit null yields $233.0M. A signed loss ledger contributes−0.000429923 years and yields $1.0M with unchanged health. Adverse exposure yields negative health and resources; a gift-induced household loss persists when policy/funding response is zero. True-zero has no beneficial price. Unknown-resource incidence has a null combined price, retaining the health diagnostic rather than treating missing dollars as zero.

Sensitivity tests retain the complete initial 11 cases and add local exposure, survival, delay, signed finance, clinical-null, financial-only, adverse, failed-policy burden and unknown cases. The numerical central is unchanged apart from rounding because sources do not identify a better LA point estimate. The three-year cost mean is corrected, not used to force a favorable headline. Original alpha is frozen as a complete diagnostic.

Public/partner capital, compliance resources, donated effort and displaced activity beyond household incidence are additional unpriced external social costs. The donor denominator is complete recipient operating cost; this is not a complete societal ratio or a lower bound.

The financial scenarios count one representative adult per modeled household, not every family member. Their $50,000 baseline is the resource reference for that representative unit; the same-household percentage change is applied once. The recurrent household-year forecast is distinct from the fixed older-adult clinical cohort: only people who would be alive without the cleaner-air change enter the financial roster. No extra survivors' earnings are credited. Neither the number of households, their resource baseline nor the incidence values have been measured for this intervention.

Model, assumptions and sensitivity

Five full latest-year gross reported recipient budgets, across all programs and support, normalized linearly to a $10,000 ordinary gift. No policy-only cost carveout. External social resources unpriced.

LA-only calculation: OMB Bulletin23-01 MSA31080 includes Los Angeles and Orange counties, excludes Riverside/San Bernardino and Ventura. N=500000 older adults alive at implementation is a finite analyst exposure cohort, not observed reach. Nall=N is enforced; allPopulationQalys equals local quantified health only and does not represent all statewide effects. California and LA are nested recipient views, never summed.

h1=h0*exp(-ln(HR)/10*transport*pm); rho=ln(1.03); F(a,t)=(1-exp(-a*t))/a. qD=u*(F(h1+rho,T)-F(h0+rho,T)). a=min(A,T). qT=u*(F(h1+rho,a)-F(h0+rho,a)+(1-exp(-(h0-h1)*a))*(exp(-(h1+rho)*a)-exp(-(h1+rho)*T))/(h1+rho)). q=(f*qD+(1-f)*qT)/1.03^L. Qgift=10000/(E*Y)*b*(p*N*q-harm). Price=100000/Qgift if positive. N is cohort alive at implementation; no extra survival-to-implementation multiplier. Costs are constant-real full budgets; no cost discount haircut. Signed resources: each disjoint baseline-alive household group nets positiveUSD*positiveOverlapShare+negativeUSD before logarithm; negatives remain full. CG equivalent=.5*people*discountedYears*log1p(net/baseline)*gift/(E*Y)*b*p*branchShare. Durable branch lasts T, timing branch only min(A,T). Independent gift-induced burdens bypass policy/funding probability. Shared production income calculator and reportPrice count income once.

Counterfactual: Existing EPA, IQAir and YMCA devices, already-corrected fan settings, partner HVAC investigation, public plans, current ports agreement and clean-truck rules continue. A new gift cannot retroactively buy March installations or July corrections. The policy alternative must exceed the current baseline. Policy/technical capacity changes the probability of additional transport/freight emissions controls or implementation beyond adopted rules, the current ports agreement and already-agreed public funding. Current activities establish a live mechanism, not the assumed probability or PM reduction. YMCA device gaps and indoor/outdoor percentages do not determine this ambient older-adult model.

Attribution: p is the incremental recipient-specific probability effect of a five-year whole-organization effort versus partner/regulator action without it. b models donation-sensitive capacity after replacement funding, distinct from coalition p. Local linear extrapolation to a small gift is judgment and can fail at lumpy capacity thresholds. Financial people are unvalidated recurrent baseline-alive household-year exposure forecasts, allowing replacement households as rosters turn over; no additional-survivor earnings or guaranteed fixed cohort survival.

Explicit judgment central, not identified causal charity effectiveness. Wide scenarios include clinical-null, no-policy-effect and harm. This is not a complete portfolio estimate or a reason to override donor diligence.

5. Funding and previous grants

Corrected full gross recipient resources are $1,472,176 (FY2023),$2,162,329 (FY2024) and $2,494,912 (FY2025), mean $2,043,139. The earlier LA display omitted $10,170 and $11,407 of donated services in the first two years; California deep review reconciled these original returns. Part IX plus event costs plus applicable donated resources are included once; Schedule D audited totals are not increased again. Latest annual expense is unchanged, so this correction does not change the central denominator.

FY 2025 revenue was $2,149,048 after event netting, $303,847 below Part IX expense. It included $373,769 government contributions and $321,468 fee-for-service contracts. Program, management and fundraising expenses were $1,479,082, $647,639 and $326,174 before direct event costs. Net assets were $1,113,614, including $1,036,114 without donor restrictions. Consultants accounted for $974,336; a consultant total does not reveal which incremental policy work is unfunded.

The new reports narrow an actionable question: can an ordinary gift fund technically feasible extra filtration or sustained correct operation beyond existing EPA and YMCA partner plans, and for how many occupied dose-hours? A funder would need the costed plan and subsequent exposure monitoring. An unrestricted donation is not automatically allocated to this gap, and no restricted offer, matching multiplier, transaction or endorsement is implied. For policy, request the specific additional staff/consultant work, alternative funding and measurable implementation target.
