There are many ways you can easily contribute to Dollar Energy Fund. Some can even be done at no additional cost to you. Our utility partners provide a dollar-for-dollar match for almost every donation we receive. Please consider the following options for your charitable donations and help make a difference for your neighbors in need.
Support an Upcoming Event
While our goal is to raise funds and awareness to help thousands of families who are struggling to afford their utility bills, we like to offer fun and exciting events so our donors can share in the joy of helping others. Please consider participating in one of our upcoming fundraisers and together we can make a difference in the lives of many this year.
In Kind
Throughout the year, we host a number of fundraising events that include raffles, silent auctions, ticket auctions, prizes and more. Please consider inquiring about donating in-kind items, such as tickets and sports memorabilia.
Remember that any in-kind donation will go toward fundraising efforts for families in need and any profits from our fundraisers are matched dollar-for-dollar by our partnering utility companies.
Donations sent via mail will be processed in our Pittsburgh headquarters. In most cases, we’re happy to send an employee to your business to pick up an in-kind donation if necessary.
