Since 1989, Energy Outreach Colorado has raised more than $136 million
to help Colorado’s neediest families and seniors afford home energy.
This has been distributed across the state for energy assistance to
limited income households and for energy efficiency upgrades for
affordable housing and nonprofit facilities.
Energy Outreach is a leading nonprofit in the nation for “demonstrating
ongoing fiscal excellence,” according to Charity Navigator, an
independent charity evaluator that annually ranks the financial health
of U.S. charities. EOC has received Charity Navigator’s top 4-star
rating since 2002. We also are an accredited charity member of the
Better Business Bureau. Click
