Dollar Energy Fund’s History in West Virginia

The West Virginia Utility Assistance Program is an initiative by Dollar Energy Fund, Inc. to provide comprehensive utility assistance to low-income West Virginia individuals, senior citizens and families through a statewide network of community-based organizations.  The program expanded into West Virginia in 2008, through a start-up grant from The Claude Worthington Benedum Foundation and support from the utility industry and community-based organizations across the State. 

Since the program began offering utility assistance grants on October 1, 2008, thousands of West Virginia households have received millions in utility assistance grants to prevent a utility disconnect or restore service.
