Dollar Energy Fund

While volunteering with a Pittsburgh television station’s community outreach efforts in 1983, Betty Ann Simon found herself inundated with calls from low-income individuals seeking help with their mounting utility bills. This led local community leaders to recognize that far too many of their less fortunate neighbors were unable to afford the cost of heat, electricity and water. In response to the growing crisis, a coalition of community leaders formed Dollar Energy Fund and the Hardship Program was born.

Dollar Energy Fund and the Hardship Program are still going strong. The organization has grown to become the largest hardship fund in Pennsylvania and one of the largest in the nation. The organization now assists low-income utility consumers in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, Virginia, Indiana, Tennessee, Texas, Maryland, Louisiana, Kentucky, Arkansas, California and Connecticut.
