For decades, you—our donors—have helped us share power with Maryland households.
Now, we’re proud to share something with you: knowledge that empowers everyday life, builds confidence, and strengthens well‑being.
That’s why we created POWER FORWARD, a 2026 workshop series designed especially for the Fuel Fund family.
POWER Forward is our way of saying thank you—by offering engaging, practical learning experiences that help you:
- Gain insights you can use right away
- Build financial, personal, and household resilience
- Connect with others who care deeply about Maryland communities
- Feel appreciated, informed, and energized
POWER Forward is more than a workshop series—it’s our commitment to the people who make our mission possible.
Our April 9th workshop, Think Before You Click, has concluded. Thank you for your participation!
