Project Porchlight campaigns take place in communities large and small across the country. Our pilot project took place in Fenelon Falls, Ontario and we rolled out our first major campaign in Ottawa. Here is a list of our recent campaigns, and we're always on the lookout for other areas that want to make a change! See our local campaigns page to learn more about current campaigns.
Project Porchlight receives funding from a variety of organizations including government bodies (municipal, provincial, federal), utilities, and pubic and private companies.
Project Porchlight can hand out so many free CFL bulbs thanks to the generosity of our sponsors, partners and volunteers. Our sponsors provide us with the funding we need to fund daily operations, our partners provide needed materials and support, and our volunteers bring it all together, delivering bulbs door to door in their communities.
Replacing any old incandescent light bulb with a CFL will save energy and save money. But replacing the one on your porch has extra value. For one, replacing outdoor bulbs usually requires more work than an inside bulb, and the long life of CFL bulbs means less changes. More important, replacing the light on your porch with a CFL sends a message to everyone who sees it that you've made the switch and that encourages others to do the same. The Porchlight is a sign of a better and brighter Canada.
Project Porchlight is a community-based environmental initiative run by the not-for-profit organization One Change. The goal of Project Porchlight is to get Canadians to think about everyday ways they can conserve energy. The way we're meeting our goal is by distributing a free CFL bulb to every home in Canada.
