Event Administrative Manager

About Global Paint for Charity

Global Paint for Charity (GPC) is an award-winning 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, and recognized by Charity Navigator and Candid/GuideStar for excellence in sustainability, transparency, and global impact.

Since 2010, GPC has recovered and repurposed more than 5 million gallons of surplus paint, diverting hundreds of thousands of tons of waste from landfills and redistributing paint to 44 countries, improving the homes, schools, clinics, and community spaces of more than 15 million people worldwide.

Our mission is to use color as a catalyst for change—transforming lives, uplifting neighborhoods, and reducing environmental waste. Through strategic partnerships, community outreach, and global initiatives, we bring hope, creativity, and sustainability to underserved communities across the United States and around the world.

Why This Role Matters Now

Over the last 15 years, GPC’s work has expanded steadily, but the past year marked a major acceleration. Last year alone, we shipped hundreds of thousands of five-gallon buckets of paint, valued at more than $2 million, to communities in the Dominican Republic, Haiti, Jamaica, Honduras, Belize, Guyana, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and beyond.

In many of these communities, families live on one dollar a day or less. A single gallon of paint in the U.S. costs $38 to $50, more than a month or even a year’s income for households in fragile towns and refugee camps. Because of GPC’s work and the dedication of our volunteers and partners:

• Schools and classrooms were painted and restored
• Women’s clinics and community centers were revitalized
• Homes became safer, healthier, and more dignified

This year, 48 volunteers and interns formally joined our team, supported by more than 300 additional volunteers at paint drives. Together, they diverted paint from landfills, supported local artists and muralists in Wynwood, Miami, led home beautification in Tampa, created murals in Atlanta and Chicago, and delivered hope and color across Africa and the Caribbean.

At the same time, GPC is working with city mayors and local governments to introduce zero-paint-waste programs that create jobs, generate revenue, and improve neighborhoods. As the FIFA World Cup approaches across the U.S., Mexico, and Canada, cities are requesting paint to celebrate national pride and unity. Demand is growing rapidly, and events are central to how we mobilize communities, partners, and resources.

That is why the Events Administrative Manager role is critical at this moment.
