Find your gas assistance options
Five questions, a ranked plan, and the exact words to use on the phone.
How this works
Answer five questions and this page builds a ranked action plan for your situation — which programmes you most likely qualify for, the number to call, what to bring, and the sentence to say when someone picks up. It also works out your household income as a percentage of the 2026 federal poverty level, which is what most programmes decide on.

Private by design
Five questions, a plan you can print
This tool asks about your situation, not your identity. It works out your income as a percentage of the 2026 federal poverty level, then ranks the programmes most likely to help — with the number to call and the sentence to say.

Why there is no application form here
No legitimate organisation can approve gas assistance through a third-party website, and sites that collect your income and contact details for “gas card applications” are usually selling leads or running a scam. We will never ask for your name, address, phone number or any identifying information. This tool tells you where the real applications are, and you apply directly with the agency.
Fastest route
If you need gas today, start with one phone call
2-1-1 is free, confidential and usually answered 24 hours a day by a trained specialist who can see which agencies near you still have funds this week. It is the single most useful number in this whole subject.
Ask for it by name: say “gas voucher” or “transportation assistance”, not “financial help”. Many agencies will not mention fuel unless you ask.
Or text your ZIP code to 898-211, or search 211.org. Free from any phone. Interpreters available.
Common questions
Frequently asked questions
Is this a real gas assistance application?
No, and no third-party website can be. This tool works out which programmes fit your circumstances and tells you exactly where and how to apply, but the application itself has to be made directly with the agency — by phone or in person in almost every case. Anyone offering to submit a gas assistance application on your behalf through a web form should be treated with suspicion.
Do you store or sell my information?
No. This page has no server component at all. The questions are answered in your own browser, the calculation runs in JavaScript on your device, and nothing is transmitted, saved or logged. There is no name field, no email field and no contact field anywhere on this site, by deliberate design.
Why do you ask for my income?
Only to calculate your household income as a percentage of the 2026 federal poverty level, because that single figure determines eligibility for most programmes — 200% is the most common cutoff. The field is optional and you can skip it; the rest of the plan still works. The number never leaves your device.
What if my state is not in the list?
Your plan will still be built from the national programmes, which is most of what matters. Only seven states currently have programmes documented in enough detail for us to add state-specific steps, because publishing a state page without verified local information produces exactly the thin filler this site exists to avoid. Every state and DC has an entry page with its community action network and programme names.
