Most fundraisers often aren't even win-win situations—they might even be win-lose-lose. The fundraising organization makes money, but the consumer often spends money for candy or other items they would not normally buy, and that also may be unhealthy. The LightbulbsAmerica fundraiser is not just a win-win situation; it’s a win-win-win-win-win.

• Win for participants. Besides helping out their fundraising organization and their customers, the fundraiser workers get a chance to become more knowledgeable and involved in issues that will dominate their lives—energy use, greenhouse gases and global pollution.
• Win for fundraising groups. Their fundraiser raises money and they get a chance for prizes.
• Win for customers. Besides helping out their schools, churches and clubs, they save $20-70 for each light bulb they purchase. If customers buy more, they save more. In addition, they are helping their country and their environment.
• Win for environment. Reducing energy usage saves fuel, avoids the necessity to build new power plants and avoids releasing greenhouse gases and pollution into the atmosphere. Half of the electrical energy in the country is still produced by coal. Just changing light bulbs can help you towards becoming more carbon neutral.
• Win for the country. Each CFL light bulb that replaces an incandescent light bulb helps the country become more energy independent. This helps the country economically and politically. Reducing energy consumption is a national goal, and due to the inefficiency of electrical power distribution, reducing your electrical energy use at home actually saves twice as much energy. And you also reduce greenhouse gases and other pollutants.

• They save lots of money! These ENERGY STAR approved light bulbs will save $20-70 in energy costs over the life of the bulb since they use only about 20% the energy of a regular light bulb. Your customers can determine their savings by using our Energy Savings calculator.
• They last 3-10 times longer. Their long lifetime means the customer has to buy fewer light bulbs, saving even more money.
• They are small. These new CFL bulbs are much smaller now and fit most fixtures. Click on the bulb image to the right to see this in action.
• They are fast. The new bulbs turn on almost instantly with no flicker, unlike older fluorescent bulbs. See pictures, specifications and a movie.
• They reduce greenhouse gas emission. Since they consume less energy, each bulb will reduce CO2 emissions by up to 1600 pounds and coal consumption up to 600 pounds, depending on how your local energy is produced. And this is for ONE BULB!

• We have a great product. Our compact fluorescent light bulbs are made by Greenlite Lighting Corporation, one of the leading manufacturers of these bulbs in the world and are ENERGY STAR approved.
• You can make a lot of money. You make approximately 40% profit on each bulb. The bulbs sell at a higher price than many traditional fundraiser items like candy, and each customer can usually use several bulbs, particularly since they will save them money.
• Our light bulbs come with a 2-year warranty. Each bulb is packed in its own cardboard box to prevent damage.
• You can start right away. We can get your fundraiser set up immediately. You can create your account and, in most cases, start your fundraising campaign right away.
