Dollar Energy Fund's Cool Down for Warmth Program, Powered by Dynegy
Since 2020, Dynegy has contributed over $100,000 as the "Powered By" sponsor of the Cool Down for Warmth annual fundraiser. Through Dollar Energy Fund’s unique funding model, these funds have supported more than 1,700 vulnerable individuals needing energy assistance, helping them stay warm during the harshest months.
For the past four years, Dynegy has proudly served as the title sponsor of Dollar Energy Fund’s Cool Down for Warmth program. Each winter, Dollar Energy Fund partners with CBS station KDKA for a weeklong telethon campaign. A unique highlight of this campaign has been visuals and stories to illustrate the effects of going without heat-related utilities during the winter months, capturing viewers’ attention and inspiring them to contribute to this important cause. One hundred percent of all additional donations are used for utility assistance grants.
In 2024, Dollar Energy Fund was awarded with Leadership in Community as part of the Dynegy and Homefield Energy Leadership Awards Programs.

“Dynegy is leading the way among electric energy generation suppliers by providing this donation for the benefit of limited-income utility customers,” said Chad Quinn, Dollar Energy Fund’s chief executive officer. “This contribution is the largest Dollar Energy Fund has ever received from a supplier and it will have a significant impact for families in our region who need financial assistance to maintain basic utility services.”
