Mission & Leadership



Mission

The LiveCooler Foundation, Inc. is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization whose mission is to fight global warming while helping the less fortunate.

We install free energy-efficient lightbulbs (CFLs) in the homes of low-income families that can’t afford them. Switching to CFLs means:

  1. Lower monthly electricity bills for the low-income families.
  2. Less CO2 created by electricity power plants.

We get these benefits not just for one year but for 10 years due to the CFL’s average lifespan of 10 years.
