Who We Are

Outreach Built on Trust, Not Pressure

Energy Freedom Project is a field outreach organization. We reach people where they already gather: campuses, community centers, churches, and the stores they shop at. Our work is simple and personal, and it's backed by a team that is coached to do right by every person they meet.

We serve those around us, and we honor those who paved the way. We stand on the shoulders of giants.

Helping Illinois Residents Receive What's Theirs

The state has set aside benefits for Illinois residents, and many people never hear about them. We're honored to be an approved part of the effort to change that, and we take that responsibility seriously.

It's a positive program, and we're glad to keep building that relationship. For current details, visit the official program website or read more here.

Energy Freedom Project is not a government agency. Program details are set by the state and may change.
