Alabama Business Charitable Trust Fund announces new board of directors

By: Joey Blackwell

As spring turns into summer, Alabamians are adjusting from cooler weather to rising temperatures. And with those hotter days come an increase in energy usage as families fire up air conditioners to cool their homes.

Since 1992, the Alabama Business Charitable Trust Fund (ABC Trust) has aimed to help economically distressed Alabamians cover their energy costs by providing resources and education through partnerships with the Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs (ADECA), Community Action Agencies and other social services organizations. The ABC Trust, a 501(c)4 social welfare organization, is not funded with ratepayer dollars.

Over the years, the trust has helped more than 100,000 households pay their energy bills, contributing more than $30 million toward energy assistance while also providing home weatherization and energy efficiency upgrades to both families and nonprofits.
