BGE is committed to providing continual support through our Limited Income Strategy which:

  1. Acknowledges all of the challenges that lead customers into crisis and keep them from fully meeting their energy needs;
  2. Takes on those challenges to the extent we are capable;
  3. Works with outside stakeholders for issues beyond our core competencies;
  4. Embraces BGE's obligation to be a leader in seeking solutions.

Community Support Funds
Working in partnership with the Baltimore Community Foundation and other community agencies, BGE is a strong supporter of programs that help customers with financial and energy management challenges maintain their electric and gas service.

Volunteerism
BGE is a giving company and so are the more than 3,000 employees who work for us. Employees engage in countless ways to support local communities and non-profit organizations to make a social impact.

Chesapeake Habitat for Humanity
Last year more than 80 BGE employees volunteered to help Chesapeake Habitat for Humanity rebuild dozens of homes in the Monument-McElderry-Fayette community. The partnership continues as part of a five-year plan.

Fuel Fund of Maryland
Since its founding as the first independent fuel fund in the nation more than a quarter century ago, the Fuel Fund has partnered with BGE to help countless thousands of individuals and families stay warm in the winter, cool in the summer and keep the lights on year-round. Learn how you can help.

Penny Round-Up
Penny Round-Up is an easy way you can provide financial assistance to families that find it hard to pay their utility bills. Penny Round-Up allows you to add as much as a dollar a month to your BGE bill to help support the work of the Fuel Fund of Maryland.
