The Alabama Resiliency Fund (ARF) is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization focused on strengthening low‑ and moderate‑income households in communities across our state. We invest in projects that make homes safer and more efficient, support healthier living conditions, and open doors to learning and jobs.
Our mission is simple: empower communities, bridge gaps, and build a brighter future for all Alabamians.
Free Home Weatherization Upgrades to Lower Your Power Bill
The Energy Savings Program (ESP) gives eligible families no‑cost upgrades that help lower your energy bills and make homes more comfortable. Trained contractors visit the home, look for air leaks and other problems, and install improvements like better insulation, air sealing, smart thermostats, and efficient lighting at no cost to the resident.
Typical upgrades can lower energy use by about 25%, saving families an estimated $520+ a year, while making homes more comfortable in every season.
What We Do
Energy Savings Program – Weatherization & Efficiency
We provide no‑cost home weatherization upgrades in selected communities. After an in-home energy assessment, these upgrades can include LED bulbs, faucet aerators, low‑flow showerheads, air sealing, insulation, and heating and cooling tune‑ups or replacements where needed.
AgTech Innovation in Rural Communities
In rural areas, ARF backs efforts that connect digital skills to agriculture – the state’s largest industry. We support the development of ag‑technology learning, connect learners to jobs with farmers and rural employers, and help small businesses adopt smart tools and online sales.
Rural Broadband & Connected Learning
ARF supports the Alabama Digital Education Network (ADEN) by helping bring broadband access and digital devices to learners and educators. This work helps close the digital divide so that every student can access modern learning tools, no matter where they live.
Many Alabama families face high energy bills, older homes, and limited internet access. In Alabama, many families live in older homes that waste energy and lack good internet.
In many underserved communities, students try to learn in homes that are both energy‑inefficient and lack reliable internet. These barriers limit learning, health, and economic mobility.
ARF exists to tackle these challenges head‑on, starting with the Energy Savings Program.
We focus on communities where:
We work through local partners – schools, churches, community action agencies, and neighborhood groups – to reach families who may not hear about help through traditional channels.
