What is the Good Neighbor Energy Fund?

The Good Neighbor Energy Fund helps Massachusetts residents pay for winter heating fuel and other energy bills. The Fund is for people who are facing a short-term financial crisis and do not qualify for other fuel assistance programs. It is a joint effort between the gas and electric utility companies and The Salvation Army.

Money for the fund comes from the utility companies, donations from utility customers and businesses, and other charitable donors.


Am I eligible?

You can get help from the Good Neighbor Energy Fund if you are in financial need and do not qualify for government energy assistance programs. The Fund most often helps people who have an unexpected short-term financial crisis. Your immigration status does not matter for this program.

You must meet these requirements to be eligible:

  • You are facing a temporary financial crisis that makes you unable to pay your energy bills.

  • You are not eligible for government energy assistance programs.

  • You are a resident of Massachusetts.

  • Your household's gross income is between 60% and 80% of the state median income (SMI).

    Note: To figure your annual income, you can count your income from the previous 12 months; or you can count your income from the most recent month times 12.

You can get emergency heating assistance starting December 1, and non-emergency heating assistance starting January 1. Help is given year-round, until funds run out.
