Charity+Power is more than a provider of electricity or natural gas to its members. We also allow donations of a portion of our members’ rate charge to the charity or non-profit of their choice. In turn, we send this donation to you, without any deduction.
Any nonprofit organization registered with the IRS as a 501(c)(3) organization is eligible to participate. Charity+Power uses a third-party web-service from GuideStar that contains information on over 1.5 million US-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations. If you can’t find your nonprofit on Charity+Power, first try searching by your EIN (Tax ID). If you still can’t locate your nonprofit, go to the Guidestar.org website and search for your charity there. If you find your charity on the GuideStar website, simply email nposervices@guidestar.org and ask to be opted in to their third party web-feed. Within 24 hours you’ll show up on our data base of nonprofits. If you don’t see your charity on GuideStar, you can contact us or reach out to them directly but note that GuideStar receives a file from the IRS an average of 11 times a year of organizations who are deemed eligible to be listed as a nonprofit so it will take at most, a month and a half before your nonprofit can be automatically included in the GuideStar database.
The fastest way to get going is to scroll to the top of the site and select “Enrollment”. Search for your charity by name, keywords or Tax ID. On the next page, you’ll fill out your contact information and information about your organization. All of this can be completed in about 2 minutes. You will also have access to your charity donor report which will list the names, contact information, and donations of your donors. Please Contact us with all questions.
By paying their utility bill, a guaranteed portion of the rate charge is sent to the non-profit or charitable organization selected by our member, without any deduction. The actual donation will vary each month depending on the amount of electricity or natural gas consumed by our member and the rate plan they selected. The rate plan states the percentage of the customer’s rate charge that is donated to charity.
No fees or other charges will be deducted by us from the donation.
Your organization will receive its donations by check on a quarterly basis. Charities will be responsible for taxes based on their net income or gross receipts.
Our goal is to be as transparent as possible. Once you register and are assigned an account, you will have access to the following information: name, email, physical address, amount of donation and the date the donation was made. You have access to all of this data through the Charity+Power Report Center. You can download your reports into Excel so you can import the data into your donor database..
