The Split the Ticket Fund is returning this winter to support Vermont families in need by providing direct assistance with heating fuel and essential heating services. 

The program matches financial contributions with donations of heating oil, kerosene, and propane from local energy providers. The delivery ticket or invoice is split 50/50; every $1 donated buys $2 worth of heating fuel. The same split works with local heating contractors who donate labor and equipment.

Home heating providers are often the first to hear about and respond to a heating emergency. This program gives local businesses, organizations, and individuals the opportunity to work with their local home heating provider to give the gift of warmth to someone in their community.

Over the past two decades, the program has delivered
 more than 100,000 gallons of free fuel to Vermonters.
