Oregon HEAT Charity Profile

Oregon HEAT is an independent nonprofit organization founded in 1989 as Oregon Energy Services to help low-income Oregonians become more energy self-reliant. Oregon HEAT's primary program objective is to prevent disconnection of utility service during inclement weather by providing bill payment assistance to low-income households in emergency situations.

Oregon HEAT partners with 34 local community and social service organizations throughout the state to help deliver energy assistance to qualifying households. Over the years, Oregon HEAT partners, funders and supporters have helped to keep the heat and lights on for tens of thousands of low-income households. Oregon HEAT makes payments directly to utilities or venders on behalf of low-income customers who qualify for assistance.

Mission Statement: Oregon HEAT develops and coordinates resources to help low-income Oregonians meet their energy needs and achieve energy self-reliance through energy education and advocacy.
