APS CARE (formerly Project SHARE)

Kindness has a new name. Project SHARE is now the APS CARE (Crisis Assistance Relief Effort) program. Through our partnership with The Salvation Army, APS customers in need can receive up to $500 in energy bill support. Or if you’d like to make a tax-deductible donation to help others, you can donate to APS CARE through your monthly bill.

Kindness Grows

And we’ll join you in the giving by matching the total of all donations made – up to $80,000 - from November 1 through December 31, 2025 (funded by shareholder dollars that don’t impact customer rates).
