Our Mission
Energy Outreach Colorado is the only independent non-profit in the state raising money to help provide home energy assistance to low-income Coloradans.
Our Impact
$198 Million has been raised by Energy Outreach since 1989 for affordable energy programs.
118,000 Low-income households received EOC funding last year to help pay their heating bills.
125 Community assistance organizations partner with Energy Outreach to provide heating bill assistance, including Colorado’s Low-Income Energy Assistance Program (LEAP).
$373 Is the average energy assistance amount that was credited to the energy utility bill of each qualifying low-income household.
232 Non-profit facilities have been weatherized to lower their energy costs since 2006 through our Non-Profit Energy Efficiency Program.
20,000 Affordable housing apartments have been weatherized to lower their energy costs through our Affordable Housing Energy Efficiency Program since 1997.
200 Colorado businesses have been subcontracted by EOC to provide weatherization services through our energy efficiency programs.
306 Energy companies providing natural gas, electricity, propane and wood fuel in Colorado are able to keep costs lower for their customers because EOC heating bill assistance lowers their write-offs.
