Lights for Learning Fundraiser
Organizational Information
Type of Environmental Education Provider: Not for Profit
Mission Statement: Southern California Edison offers the Lights for Learning fundraiser, a unique opportunity for organizations to earn funds by selling energy efficient, ENERGY STAR® qualified Compact Fluorescent Light bulbs (CFLs). Participating organizations earn a 50% profit for each bulb sold, with the opportunity to earn bonus dollars up to $1500, based upon sales.
Unlike other products commonly sold through fundraisers, CFLs actually put money back into consumers’ pockets. CFLs use 75% less energy than standard light bulbs, meaning that the same amount of electricity used for just one standard bulb can power four CFLs. Install CFLs throughout the home and the savings really add up! Replacing standard bulbs with CFLs saves energy, money and helps protect the environment.
The fundraiser offers a variety of benefits including:
• Customized educational presentations and leave-behind materials provided at no cost
• Program support and marketing materials available to help meet fundraising goals
• No minimum purchase requirement – pay only for the number of CFLs sold
• Promotion of a product that is both useful and environmentally friendly
The Lights for Learning Fundraiser can be tailored to meet the unique needs of your organization or school. Schools, youth groups, service organizations or any other group who needs to raise funds will find the fundraiser works. For school fundraising, Lights for Learning can be run by a small group of students, district-wide or anywhere in between.
