A review of the application will be done ASAP. However it may take multiple days before any assistance is approved. If there is a more urgent need, then the LIHEAP crisis program may be a better option. The USDOE and community action agencies pay out cash grants (in as little as 3 days) for past due utility bills or even reconnection costs.

When it comes to donating money, this can be done at anytime and in any dollar amount. !00% of the money collected goes to Idaho Public Utilities Commission Project Warmth. The donor can round up each monthly utility bill to the next highest dollar amount. They can make a one-time contribution. Or another option is to pay a fixed dollar amount each month as a separate line item on the bill. All of these options are available.

As noted, employees of Idaho Public Utilities Commission in Idaho also donate to the assistance program. Note only that, but the company will also match donations. This is done for both public contributions as well as that money from employees. What happens in effect is that if 1000 dollars are collected in say a week, the company will use some of its profits to match a portion of that. His means even more low income families can get help with their utility or energy bills from Idaho Public Utilities Commission Project Warmth.

As noted, the assistance is often combined with payment plans and more.
