EnergyShare

About EnergyShare

EnergyShare is Dominion's fuel assistance program of last resort for anyone who faces financial hardships from unemployment or family crisis.

EnergyShare is a heating and cooling assistance program in Virginia, and a heating assistance program in North Carolina and Ohio. Heating assistance applies to any heat source - oil, gas, kerosene, wood and electricity.
Payments go directly to energy vendors and every cent donated goes to benefit those in need because Dominion pays for the program's administrative expenses.
Funds come from tax-deductible donations from customers, stockholders, employees, EnergyShare Partners and Dominion. Funds are distributed through a network of nonprofit health and human service agencies.
