About SHARE THE WARMTH INC

Share The Warmth Inc (EIN 35-2152987) is a Houston, Texas based 501(c)(3) nonprofit that functions as a donor-funded assistance fund supporting low-income households in utility service areas. The organization operates primarily as a grantmaking/pass-through vehicle that directs contributed funds to local 501(c)(3) service providers delivering energy-bill assistance, weatherization, and related emergency support.

Since its tax-exempt recognition, Share The Warmth has partnered with utility and community organizations (including CenterPoint Energy and local administering partners such as The Salvation Army in some service areas) to distribute assistance. In late 2024 CenterPoint Energy announced a transition to a Customer Assistance Fund model that references Share The Warmth as the independent 501(c)(3) vehicle used to collect and distribute voluntary contributions for customer assistance.

Significant financial scale (recent years)

Form 990 filings show substantial contributions and net assets growth in the 2022–2024 period, enabling multi-jurisdictional distributions to community partners and program activity across CenterPoint service areas.

Played a central role in CenterPoint Energy’s programmatic shift (announced in late 2024) to a broader Customer Assistance Fund structure to expand eligibility and delivery options for bill assistance and weatherization.
