The National Propane Gas Association (NPGA) last week announced the creation of a new program, NPGAid, to help full-time NPGA member company employees who are in need of financial assistance following an unforeseen disaster or personal hardship.
To kickstart the fund, NGPA is generously matching donations up to the first $100,000 raised. Anyone can make a tax-deductible donation on a one-time or recurring basis. The healthier the fund, the better positioned NPGAid will be to help members when disaster or hardship strikes. It’s safe and easy to donate by credit/debit card:

Donors may also mail a check payable to NPGF to 1150 Connecticut Avenue, NW, Suite 1200, Washington, DC 20036.
NPGA decided to start this fund in the aftermath of Hurricanes Helene and Milton in 2024, which were devastating to so many, including several NPGA member companies and their employees. As President & CEO of NPGA, Stephen Kaminski, notes, “While the propane industry is always first to raise its hand to help others, Helene and Milton helped us realize that we had no direct way to help members of our own community cope with severe hardship. NPGAid is a way for us to meet that need. NPGAid will provide tax-free grants of up to $2,500 to qualified applicants directly impacted by a natural disaster or similar event. The goal is to develop a pool of disaster relief funds, “By Propane, For Propane.” Help spread the word about NPGAid with this new flyer about the program.
NPGAid operates through the National Propane Gas Foundation (NPGF) and is partnering with Emergency Assistance Foundation (EAF), an independent third-party, to administer this 100% confidential program. More information about NPGAid, how to donate, and how to apply for a grant is at www.NPGAid.com.
