The Fuel Fund of Maryland is a small nonprofit organization that receives no federal, state, county, or city government funding. Every household we help is supported because someone in our community chose to give.
We rely entirely on the generosity of individual donors, the business and corporate community, foundations, and faith-based organizations. Your support ensures that Maryland households stay connected.
Every contribution, no matter the size, can have a profound impact.
Your generosity helps keep homes warm in the winter, cool in the summer, families safe, and communities thriving.
