PROVIDED A FINANCIAL GRANT TO MORE THAN 4,289 BGE CUSTOMERS IN FY 24
Our Mission:
We provide emergency financial grants to BGE residential customers who have had their power disconnected OR those who have received an impending turnoff notice. Please note that we are unable to assist with high utility balances.
Our Role:
We assess your eligibility for a Fuel Fund financial grant as detailed on our APPLY page. Please be aware that we are an independent nonprofit organization with limited funds, and our eligibility criteria are distinct from state utility assistance programs like the Office of Home Energy Programs (OHEP).
Your Responsibility:
If you receive a financial grant from us, you will be asked to pay a portion.
Take Action Now:
If you're a BGE residential customer in need of utility assistance, visit our APPLY page to check your eligibility for a financial grant. Additionally, call BGE at 1-800-685-0123 to explore payment options and resources. It's crucial that you continue paying your BGE bill.
