CELEBRATING 30 YEARS

2019 ANNUAL REPORT oregonenergyfund.org/winternews BOARD OF “The need is pressing. So why doesn’t somebody do DIRECTORS something about it? And then I realized...I was somebody.” - Victor Atiyeh, Founding Director Emeritus TORI BRYSON, President Hoffman, Stewart & Schmidt, P.C. SARAH SIMMONS, Vice President THE YEAR IN REVIEW R/West Dear friends, ANNE WAHR, Secretary Portland General Electric It’s been 30 years since Victor Atiyeh first sat down with a board of community members and decided to take on Oregon’s utility hardship crisis. The numbers were, and are, sobering. MIGUEL SANTOS, Treasurer 27% of Oregonians struggle to pay their bills annually - twice the rate of food insecurity. US Bank Thousands spend up to a quarter of their income on energy, facing hunger, illness, and KRISTEN BROWN homelessness as a result. Yet in 1989, there was nowhere to turn for help. NW Natural Gas The solution: a nonprofit that would work with community agencies and local utilities across MARISA DECRISTOFORO Oregon to bring energy assistance to families in need. Its mission: that no one should be in Consultant the dark. Since 1989, Oregon Energy Fund has helped more than 300,000 people pay their bills, and provided support and guidance to countless others. Throughout, we’ve been DAVID DIMATTEO guided by the same values: compassion for those less fortunate, collaboration with like- Latino Network minded Oregonians, and innovation to address a widespread need. JASON HEUSER Eugene Water & Electric Board I’m especially proud of the work we’ve accomplished this year. In March, we officially launched our Senior Discount Program with Meals on Wheels People and Portland General MARGI HOFFMANN Electric. So far, this groundbreaking collaboration has provided relief to nearly 100 seniors in Farmers Conservation Alliance the Portland area, and is only growing. DANIEL HUGGETT We expanded our partnerships to include the Latino Network, the Native American Youth & West Oregon Electric Family Center, and the Immigrant & Refugee Community Organization, and tripled our CHRISTINA KRÜGER funding to 11 counties in eastern Oregon. We provided energy assistance to furloughed Pacific Power workers during the government shutdown in January, and traveled to the National Energy & Utility Affordability Coalition conference in May to accept the Victorine Q. Adams JESS MARPE Innovation Award. Community Action TYLER RICHARDSON Together, we raised more than $1 million and assisted more than 3,000 Oregonians in 2019. Portland General Electric I can’t tell you how inspired I am by your support, and what we’ve been able to do with it. Year after year, we hear from recipients who tell us how energy assistance let them heat and JORDAN SCHOONOVER feed their family, and not have to choose. How our funds gave them the hope they needed to McDowell Rackner Gibson PC get through the winter. Many are donors now, giving back to help others. Your support matters. It goes and goes and goes. CHARITY SPIRES Pacific Power As the year winds down, I’ve been reflecting on our work as an organization: where we’ve BOB WALSH come from, where we’re going next. Can we prevent Oregonians from falling into crisis in the Walsh Trucking Company first place? Can we develop programs to help people achieve long-term energy stability? And can we help tackle the pressing issues of our time, like homelessness and climate change? ADAM LOWNEY, Immediate Past President These are difficult, complex questions, and there’s not one solution. But I keep coming back McDowell Rackner Gibson PC to Victor Atiyeh, and how he wished somebody would do something - until he realized he was somebody. So am I. So are you. Each of us holds a piece of the answer, the ability to ADVISORY COUNCIL make a difference in someone’s life - to work towards an Oregon where no family has to brave a winter night without light or heat. We’ve reached where we are today thanks to you, our SCOTT BOLTON incredible family. And if we continue to work together, the future is bright indeed.

“Without heat, you don’t have anything. You can’t “The assistance from OEF allowed us to keep our cook. The refrigerator doesn’t work. And how was electricity and our gas going, and it enabled us to pay my daughter supposed to do her homework without doctor bills.” lights? I appreciate the community looking out for - Diana, OEF recipient people who need help. That’s a great community.” – Cheryl, OEF recipient “OEF has opened my eyes and heart to people who can’t count on what I take for granted: I turn up the thermostat “We don’t ask for much and take great pride in and the heat comes on. I hit a switch and the lights come making it on our own. But when we really needed on. I wish I could give more. But I’ll keep giving.” the help, OEF was there to help us.” - Steven, OEF donor - Rachel, OEF recipient

“I saw how resolving one problem can help people “I’m amazed at the extent of OEF’s aid to communities stabilize their lives and gain control over other across Oregon, and your commitment to helping those in need. issues. That’s why I’m glad OEF is here to help.” Thank you for your wonderful work helping communities stay - James, former case manager warm and keep the lights on.” - Teresa, OEF donor

“My husband developed a life-threatening medical condition that temporarily put him out of work. The only income we had was his small military pension. Oregon Energy Fund helped cover our bill until he could recover and find a new job.” - OEF recipient

“I am a past recipient, and if I donate another 30 years I’ll not come close to how important that aid was to me then. (5 children, winter ahead, no hope, very little money.) Thank you for that. I hope I can keep helping you help others. It’s so very important.” - Shannon, OEF donor “It felt like a Mack Truck being lifted off of me. It was one less thing I had to worry about, knowing that when we got home, we’d be going home to a warm house, and I could cook for my daughter and bathe her, and we could to go sleep without that worry.” - Renauda, OEF recipient

OEF TRIPLES AID TO UNDERSERVED OREGON COMMUNITIES

Like many things, utility hardship is not distributed evenly. Rural areas overall funding in this area, with the most underserved counties are more energy burdened than cities, but often lack the equivalent receiving five times more aid than last year. This will let us support funds and resources. People of color also have higher energy burden around 200 additional households across the region, allowing them to rates than average, with 74% of Oregon’s Native population facing a devote more of their resources to food, rent, and medicine. severe energy burden. Additionally, OEF has received a $20,000 grant from CareOregon, Here at OEF, we strive to support overburdened and underserved which will support Oregon Health Plan members and aims to prevent communities such as these. And this winter, we’re pleased to provide a health problems among households of color. As reported in our Fall meaningful increase of funds to both of these groups. newsletter, energy burdened families often face a high risk of illness, including respiratory diseases, heart problems, hunger, and depression. The need in rural Oregon is particularly great. In remote Malheur County nearly 50% of all households are severely energy burdened - This grant will double our funds to two of our Portland-area partners, double the statewide average. Rural families also face a harsher level of Latino Network and the Native American Youth & Family Center, and hardship, with the poorest homes forced to devote nearly 40% of their act to prevent poor health and childhood trauma. Both organizations income to energy. But small populations and low donor rates mean were selected for the level of need among their two populations, as well these areas typically receive only meager funding. as their dedicated outreach to families. Last year, for example, 2/3rds of Latino Network’s OEF recipients were children. To address this disparity, OEF plans to increase energy assistance funds to 11 eastern Oregon counties: Baker, Grant, Gilliam, Harney, Both grants will greatly increase our ability to support historically Lake, Malheur, Morrow, Umatilla, Union, Wallowa, and Wheeler. underserved communities, ensuring families can live healthy and Thanks to a generous anonymous donation, we’ll be able to triple our productive lives. Thanks to our funders for their support!
