Global Paint for Charity Inc

Global Paint for Charity’s mission is to recover latex paint from businesses and residents and transform it into a catalyst for environmental sustainability, community revitalization, hope, and human dignity. Since 2010, we have diverted more than 320,000 tons of discarded paint from the waste stream, recycled it responsibly, and redistributed it to communities in 45 countries across West Africa, the Caribbean, Central and South America, and underserved cities throughout the United States.

By turning waste paint into a resource, we use color to beautify schools, homes, female clinics, and community centers, strengthen confidence and well-being, and create opportunities for vulnerable individuals and families to reach their full potential. Our work demonstrates that when sustainability and compassion come together, communities thrive, the environment is protected, and everyone benefits.

Global Paint for Charity is powered by people who believe that service, creativity, and sustainability can change lives. To date, our work has reached more than 15 million people worldwide, made possible by over 625,800 volunteer hours contributed by dedicated individuals across the globe.

Our volunteers play a vital role in every aspect of our mission—from serving as Board Directors and managing our daily operations to sorting paint at local paint drives or helping transform schools, sports centers, family homes, orphanages, churches, and homeless shelters through mural paintings and community beautification projects. Each gallon of paint reused represents more than environmental impact; it represents hope, confidence restored, pride renewed, and happiness made visible.

At Global Paint for Charity, we believe everyone deserves to live in a safe, beautiful, and colorful environment, regardless of income or circumstance. Expanding access to paint in underserved communities strengthens local economies, supports mental well-being, and uplifts the human spirit for millions of vulnerable families.

Whether you are a volunteer, partner, donor, or supporter, your involvement matters. Together, we can do more—creating lasting change, one gallon of paint at a time.
