Each year we make funds available to help customers who are struggling to pay their utility bills and who may be at risk of disconnection of services. EWEB's annual budget typically includes $1.2 million in funding to support the EWEB Customer Care Bill Assistance Program.
But, the need is much greater than what we are able to meet. Especially now, if you can help, please consider a one-time or recurring contribution to Energy Share. All donations go directly to those experiencing financial hardship or who are at risk for service disconnection.
Your donation can help a neighbor in need.
Make a Donation
Using EWEB's online portal, you can make a one-time donation or enroll in recurring donations.
- One-time Donation: You can make a one-time donation on the EWEB customer portal without logging in. You'll need your account number and zip code where your account has service. Check the box that says "I wish to donate to Energy Share" and an additional prompt will display. Please note, that if your account has a balance, the Energy Share donation will go towards that balance and any remaining donation will be applied to Energy Share.
- Recurring Donation: To make a recurring monthly donation along with your monthly bill payment, you do need to register your account on tne portal and login. Navigate to "Billing" in the top menu and select "Donate to Energy Share". The recurring donation amount will appear on your monthly bill and be due with your regular monthly payment.
Send a check: Include a one-time donation with your next bill payment, or mail a check to EWEB Energy Share Donate, 4200 Roosevelt Blvd, Eugene OR 97402.
Donations may be tax-deductible in accordance with IRC 170(c); consult your tax advisor. We will send a year-end letter/receipt to donors in January. The letter will indicate the donation amount along with our tax ID number for your records. This means you can donate several times throughout the year or establish a recurring contribution and not worry about saving receipts.
