About Global Paint for Charity

For more than 16 years, Global Paint for Charity (GPC) has worked at the intersection of environmental sustainability, community development, and human dignity. Founded in 2010 and headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, GPC is a top-rated 501(c)(3) nonprofit recognized by Charity Navigator and Candid/GuideStar for excellence in transparency, accountability, and impact.

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

We believe a simple coat of paint can change lives—bringing dignity, safety, beauty, and hope to families who need it most, while protecting our planet from hazardous waste.

Last year alone, Global Paint for Charity 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. Schools and classrooms were painted and restored.

Women’s clinics and community centers were revitalized.

In 2025 alone, 48 volunteers and interns formally joined our team, while more than 300 additional volunteers supported paint drives and community projects. Supported local artists and muralists in Wynwood, Miami
