What is Project Share?
Project Share is a year-round bill assistance program provided through a partnership between Idaho Power and The Salvation Army to help customers who are struggling to pay their energy bills. Funding is provided by Idaho Power’s customers and shareholders, other utilities, and private donations.
Project Share:
- May pay utility reconnection fees only if disconnection of service was involuntary.
- Cannot be used to pay past-due bills that have been turned over to a collection agency.
- Does not pay utility deposits.
How to Apply
Contact your local Salvation Army or CAP Agency office (find yours in the list below) to see if you qualify.
Once assistance has been approved, The Salvation Army provides the payment directly to the energy vendor. Customers must contact the vendor to make payment arrangements on any remaining balances.
If you still need help paying your bill, other payment assistance options are available. Learn about other ways to get assistance paying an energy bill.
