Clean and Prosperous America
About Us
Clean & Prosperous America believes the pace of climate action hinges on expanding commitment from legislators representing non-urban areas. The suburban, small town and rural constituents who will demand commitment to climate action are young voters, 18-29, and specifically young minority voters. Because these climate-aware young minority voters in non-urban areas are under-represented at the polls, CaPA works with trusted, local organizations to reach, register and mobilize these voters in their communities.
The CaPA strategy of finding, then supporting small-but-powerful hyper-local organizations proved successful in the November and January victories in Georgia, and will be essential to building the climate action movement going forward.

CaPA Founder
David Giuliani (he/him) – Founder: In Memoriam
The late David Giuliani was best known as the co-inventor of the Sonicare toothbrush and the Clarisonic skin care system, and as co-founder and CEO of both companies. David was a featured speaker at the White House Conference on Corporate Responsibility, was honored as the “United States Small Business Person of the Year” by President Clinton, and was selected as the “National Entrepreneur of the Year for Manufacturing” by Ernst & Young.
But his recent achievements may have been his most lasting and impactful. Over the last 10 years, David turned his attention to solving the problem of climate change. He worked hard to bring together expertise from all perspectives, regardless of political orientation, to identify, quantify, and address key issues. As an entrepreneur he always looked for “win-win” solutions to address climate change and improve economic and societal health.
Through Clean & Prosperous America, David galvanized funders to invest in community organizations to help unite our country in support of economic growth policies that enhance the health and safety of our citizens and the environment.
Please help us keep his memory and legacy alive by learning more here and matching his generous gift to the organization he founded.
