About Heating Energy Assistance Team
Heating Energy Assistance Team Inc centers its grantmaking on a statewide fuel fund that helps low-income Georgia families and individuals pay heating and energy bills. The foundation’s recent awards show a tightly defined model: large support moves through state and utility partners rather than a broad set of unrelated programs. In 2025, it gave $200,000 to the GA Division of Family & Children Services in Atlanta for providing energy assistance to qualifying low-income families, and it also supported multiple Georgia energy providers for the same purpose. The 2023 grant of $643,000 to Georgia Department of Human Resources DFCS in Atlanta shows the scale of its core energy-assistance work. The organization’s public charity structure and direct-service focus align with emergency financial help, utility arrearage relief, and restricted project support. Its stated purpose is to promote the health, comfort, and safety of Georgia communities through essential energy assistance, with help distributed through partnerships with DFCS and local community action agencies.
What Heating Energy Assistance Team Funds
A central part of the foundation’s work is energy and utility bill assistance. In 2025, it awarded $114,865 to Scana Energy in Atlanta, $98,926 to Gas South LLC in Atlanta, and $76,613 to Georgia Natural Gas in Atlanta, each for providing energy assistance to qualifying low-income families. The grant to Stream Energy Georgia in Roswell, at $11,575, shows the same pattern extending beyond Atlanta. Emergency heating assistance is built into the fund’s operating model through the HEAT Energy Assistance program, which is described as a statewide fuel fund for Georgia families and individuals. The foundation also links recipients to weatherization support through referrals, tying immediate bill help to longer-term household energy security. Its beneficiary focus is on qualifying low-income families and low-income households.
How Heating Energy Assistance Team Gives
The foundation’s typical grant size is uniform: the 25th percentile, median, and 75th percentile are all $643,000. That pattern reflects a concentrated grantmaking model rather than a wide spread of award sizes. The recent record also suggests repeat support over time, with major energy-assistance grants appearing in both 2023 and 2025. Heating Energy Assistance Team Inc is a public charity, not a funder of individuals, and it makes no program-related investments. Its active HEAT Energy Assistance program accepts unsolicited requests.
