Energy Assistance Program for Individuals in Wyoming

Grant Funding Amount Low: $500
Deadline: Ongoing
Grant Amount High: $500
Summary
Energy assistance program designed to help individuals or families in crisis within Wyoming. The grant is not for businesses or nonprofits, but rather for households experiencing energy-related emergencies when all other financial support has been exhausted. It provides a one-time payment of up to $500 per household to cover energy costs such as electric, gas, or propane bills.
The program targets residents who are facing hardship through no fault of their own — for example, job loss in energy sector industries — and places priority on low-income households. Special consideration is given to older adults and people with disabilities. To qualify, households must fall below specific annual income thresholds (which scale by household size), so it’s very much oriented toward those with limited means.
The main goal of the grant is to be a “last-resort” safety net: it’s meant to plug gaps that other assistance programs don’t fully address. The funds are intended solely for energy-related emergencies, ensuring that recipients can maintain heating or electricity during critical times.
This opportunity operates through a non-profit partnership with local community resource centers (such as the Salvation Army), which review applications and make funding decisions based on need, available resources, and program capacity. It’s available throughout the entire state, meaning any eligible resident in that state may apply.
In short, this grant offers modest but meaningful assistance to individuals or families in a defined state who are struggling with utility costs and have exhausted other avenues of support — giving them a helping hand when they really need it most.
