The Fuel Fund of Maryland - Share the Warmth with Those in NeedPoverty and the increasing cost of food, energy and other essentials can force some limited-income households to choose between putting food on the table or paying their heating bill. The Fuel Fund, an independent 501-c3 non-profit organization, provides energy assistance to help pay heating and utility bills for thousands of our neighbors in need.
How Can You Help?Last year, more than 19,000 Maryland individuals received help from those who generously donated to the Fuel Fund of Maryland. Please consider helping families who can't afford to heat their homes this winter by giving to the Fuel Fund of Maryland. Your contributions go directly to those who need assistance. For information or to learn how to donate, visit the Fuel Fund Web site.
There are two other easy ways to donate to the Fuel Fund:
Who Is Eligible?Households eligible for other programs may also qualify for the Fuel Fund. Higher income households may be eligible if there is financial hardship, such as unemployment or high medical bills.
