“Under New Jersey’s energy deregula4on law, the supply por4on of your electric or natural gas bill is separate from the delivery por4on. With the supply por4on open to compe44on, customers can shop around for the best price on their energy supplies. Their electric and natural gas distribu4on u4li4es will s4ll deliver those supplies through their wires and pipes – and respond to emergencies, should they arise – regardless of where those supplies are purchased. Purchasing your energy supplies from a company other than your electric or gas u4lity is purely an economic decision; it has no impact on the reliability or safety of your service.” Source: State of New Jersey Board of Public Utilities.

Overview of the program
4
Many businesses use natural gas for heating and
manufacturing
Natural gas prices can be volatile, especially
during the winter
Utilities, such as PSE&G, charge variable,
market-based rates, for gas
Volatile gas prices and winter price spikes can
subject businesses to significant risk
AMERIgreen offers a fixed price for natural gas
supply to businesses
When new businesses sign up for service with
AMERIgreen, we will donate funds to your
organization for the life of the contract
AMERIgreen v. Utility Rates
• PSE&G’s gas prices averaged $0.68 per unit (known as a “therm”) last year, with a high rate of over $0.81 per therm
• AMERIgreen offers fixed rates, that are oWen beXer than u4lity rates, to eliminate uncertain energy costs and winter price spikes
• There are no costs to switch, hidden charges or changes in service
• Your organiza4on will receive dona4ons from AMERIgreen when customers sign up

How it works…
6
Identify businesses in your community that
use natural gas and receive natural gas bills
from PSE&G, New Jersey Natural Gas or
ConEdison
Business can be small, such as a dry cleaner,
medium like a restaurant or large, like a
factory or apartment building
Provide an information sheet on
AMERIgreen’s program to the business
If the business is interested, complete the
provided intake form
AMERIgreen will contact the business and
take it from there
The Intake Form
7
The intake form that we provide takes
only minutes to complete and requires
information that can be easily found on
a utility bill. In lieu of completing the
form, a recent utility bill may simply be
attached.
How will this program help us raise funds?
Once a business is referred by your
organization, AMERIgreen will provide the
business with a written proposal for natural
gas supply at a fixed price
If the organization signs a contract with
AMERIgreen, your organization will receive
a donation of $0.02 per therm of natural gas
consumption for the life of the contract
The business continues to receive the same
bill from PSE&G and deal with PSE&G for
any issues – the only change is the price of
the gas!
8
A typical restaurant uses about 20,000 –
25,000 therms of natural gas per year –
that would raise $400 - $500 for your
organization
Finding just 10 business like this would
raise about $4,000 - $5,000 per year!
There are probably already businesses like
this supporting your organization
You can contact businesses through your
organization’s members, email,
advertisement or any of your typical
fundraising channels - we can even
provide you with a link for your web site
The Proposal
9
We provide prospective customers with
a customized proposal for natural gas
service that includes a chart and graph
of gas usage based on their historical
usage and a variety of pricing options
and terms to suit the customer’s
needs. If the customer accepts the
proposal, we provide them with a
contract and upon execution of the
contract their future usage will
generate funds for your organization.
