Omaha Public Power District’s Energy Assistance Program

Dollar Energy Fund uses a donor’s zip code to earmark a donation to the closest available hardship fund. If we don’t have a program operating in your zip code, we will assign it to the closest utility company or divide it equally among the pool of donations available for customers of our utility partners in your state.

Anytime you contribute through your utility bill or through a utility-sponsored campaign, that donation will benefit limited-income customers of that utility.

If there is a specific program or state where you’d prefer your donation be used, or if you have any questions about your donation’s use, please contact us at donate@dollarenergy.org.

Unfortunately, not at this time. If you are looking to help a specific customer who is in need, we recommend working with them to make a payment directly to their account.

Dollar Energy Fund is a 501(c)3 organization and donations are fully tax deductible if no goods or services are received in exchange for your contribution. Please consult a tax professional for additional information.

We’d be happy to help you with this. Please contact us at donate@dollarenergy.org.

If your total annual donation is $250 or more, we can provide you with a written acknowledgment for your contributions. Please contact us at donate@dollarenergy.org with your utility company name, bill payer name and donation amount and we will process an acknowledgement letter for you.

Please understand that, due to privacy policies, our utility partners do not provide customer information without consent, so we may need you to reach out to your utility company prior to them verifying your donation amount.

This is a great way to maximize your donation since your donation and the matching contribution from your employer may be eligible for a dollar-for-dollar match. We would be happy to work with you to verify donations for corporate matching and assist with the necessary forms. Please contact us at donate@dollarenergy.org and let us know how we can help.

If you donate through your utility bill, you will need to contact your utility company directly to make changes to your donation. If you signed up to make a recurring donation through our website, we can assist you by contacting us at donate@dollarenergy.org.
