Give local, give twice: Pacific Power doubles donations to Oregon Energy Fund
Pacific Power will match customers' contributions 1-for-1, up to $72,000
PORTLAND, Ore. (October 5, 2026) — Pacific Power customers have a simple way to make a real difference close to home, and this year their gifts go twice as far. Pacific Power will match donations to the Oregon Energy Fund 1-for-1, up to $72,000, helping local families keep their homes powered and their budgets on track.
How to give:
-
By mail: If you get a paper bill, look for an Oregon Energy Fund envelope in your October bill.
-
Monthly on your bill: Sign up for the fixed donation program at PacificPower.net/Donate and give any amount, starting at $1 per month. Pacific Power matches these donations 1-for-1, too.
-
Online or by phone: Visit PacificPower.net/Donate or call 1-888-221-7070.
Donations may be tax-deductible and go directly to the Oregon Energy Fund, which confirms eligibility and distributes the funds. Every dollar stays in the donor's home county, supporting neighbors in their own community.
"When neighbors give, families across Oregon can focus on what matters most: putting food on the table, staying in their homes and caring for their kids," said Brian Allbritton, executive director of the Oregon Energy Fund. "Pacific Power's matching gift doubles that generosity, and its commitment to household stability reflects the compassion and collaboration that make our communities strong."
The generosity of Pacific Power, its customers and employees helped 2,601 Oregonians pay their energy bills last year, including 411 seniors, 418 people with disabilities and 869 children.
Pacific Power is also here to help customers directly. Anyone who wants support managing their bill can call 1-888-221-7070. Pacific Power representatives can set up a payment plan that fits their needs and connect them with local agencies that offer additional help.
