Change a Light, Change the World Fundraiser
The Change a Light, Change the World fundraiser unites energy savings and fundraising to promote energy awareness within a community. The Change a Light, Change the World fundraiser assists community organizations, schools, and foundations in raising much needed dollars by selling ENERGY STAR® CFLs; providing them with an alternative to the products traditionally sold through fundraisers, such as candy, gift wrap, and magazines.
To date, participants have sold over 14,500 bulbs throughout their communities — that’s over 600,000 kWh of energy saved! The Change a Light, Change the World fundraiser has already helped over 50 schools, congregations, and organizations raise over $30,000 through the fundraiser.
Winner of the 2008 Excellence in ENERGY STAR Promotion award, the Change a Light, Change the World fundraiser strives for excellence in continuously meeting the needs of our utility partners. We provide a unique method for delivering energy savings while creating excellent public and community relations opportunities for utilities that are implementing the program.
The Change a Light, Change the World fundraiser offers participating schools, congregations, and organizations a variety of benefits to help make their fundraiser a success, including:
- Trained field staff who are available for interactive presentations and events
- A profit margin of 50 percent or more for every light bulb sold
