Ongoing Global Paint Projects: Beautification, Housing & Hope

Support Global Paint for Charity as we bring dignity, color, and transformation to underserved communities across the globe—one gallon of paint at a time.

Did you know the average U.S. household has 5 to 10 gallons of leftover paint, much of which ends up in landfills? At Global Paint, we recover this surplus and put it to powerful use: revitalizing homes, schools, health centers, public spaces, and more.

We currently have ongoing projects in more than 20 countries and 40 U.S. cities, reaching vulnerable populations such as elderly seniors, disabled veterans, women, children, refugees, and low-income families.
