Since 1989, Energy Outreach Colorado has been dedicated to helping Colorado’s neediest families meet their home energy needs. We are the only non-profit organization in the state that raises money through donations and foundation grants to help families in need pay energy bills and avoid shut offs. We also lead the state in pursuing affordable energy policies and advocating for energy efficiency measures in affordable housing.

In response to dwindling federal funding for energy assistance, Colorado’s governor created the Colorado Commission on Low-Income Energy Assistance in 1989. This led to the creation of our organization to raise funds for the increasing home energy needs of low-income Coloradoans. Since that time, we’ve developed programs and services for year-round bill payment assistance, energy efficiency education and weatherization.

Mission: The mission of Energy Outreach Colorado is to ensure that Colorado’s low-income families can meet their home energy needs.

Vision: Energy Outreach Colorado strives to be Colorado’s leading organization dedicated to efficient delivery of cost-effective energy assistance, energy conservation and energy education for low-income households to maintain their well being and self-sufficiency.
