Project N95

Last updated

Project N95 is a nonprofit organization which runs a website devoted to the sale of N95 masks and COVID-19 tests. [1] The website functions as a PPE clearinghouse, connecting buyers directly to manufacturers. [2]

It was founded by Anne Miller. Her mother-in-law was among the first residents of the state of Vermont to die of COVID-19. [3] The nonprofit sold N95 masks for about $1 each. [4] In December 2023, the organization announced it would stop selling masks that month and end operations due to insufficient revenue from donations and sales. [5]
