Our Programs: Energy Assistance

Working in partnership with National Grid, Con Edison and Entergy, HeartShare makes grants of up to $200 to those in need or those on the verge of having their services disconnected. Each year, HeartShare helps thousands of low-income individuals and families throughout New York City and Westchester pay their heating and cooling bills.

These grants are supported largely by donations from the community. The more money collected, the more people we are able to assist through these programs.

During the winter, HeartShare will be hosting workshops to educate the community on how to be more energy efficient. Attendees will learn ways to save money on their gas and electric bills, ways to self-weatherize their homes, and ways to determine what items in their homes are inefficient. Attendees who are HEAP income eligible will be able to apply for EmPower New York, a program which will provide them with a home energy audit. Items found to be inefficient will be repaired/replaced.
