Two pieces published this week, and I am grateful for both. CT Mirror: "CT just fixed paint waste challenges — Here is how the rest of America can finish the job." Collecting paint is only half the work. Redistributing it to families and schools is how we finish the job. https://ctmirror.org/2026/11/02/connecticut-just-fixed-paint-waste-challenges-here-is-how-the-rest-of-america-finishes-the-job-dr-rony/ Las Vegas Sun: "Don't throw out your extra paint; donate it." Leftover paint is not waste. Donated, it becomes color, dignity, and hope. https://lasvegassun.com/news/2026/oct/29/dont-throw-out-your-extra-paint-donate-it/ Recover Paint. Reduce Waste.

Global Paint for Charity has been accepted into the Velora Champions of Change gallery, and the public vote is now open. Paint. People. Planet. Purpose. Since 2010, we have recovered and redirected more than 5 million gallons of surplus paint, across 44 countries, improving environments for an estimated 15 million people. Paint that would have gone to landfills and groundwater instead went onto the walls of homes, schools, orphanages, and churches. If that work has ever moved you, I would be grateful for your vote, and for sharing it with one person who believes a child’s classroom should have color on its walls. Vote here: https://m.shortstack.page/PdW1J3?sre=m49Oz3cW05GGyU9 You can vote once a day, every day, with the same email address, so please come back tomorrow and vote again. Voting closes November 6.

♻️ Not all leftover paint follows the same path. Some paint can be used again. Some can be recycled into new materials. Other types may require special collection or disposal. But how do you know which option is appropriate? It depends on the type of paint, its condition, and the programs available in your community. Understanding these differences can help us make more informed decisions about paint waste and responsible reuse. 🌎 Swipe through to explore the different pathways leftover paint can take, from collection and reuse to recycling and disposal. Do you know your local paint disposal guidelines?

🎨 Leftover paint may still have a purpose. That extra paint sitting in your garage or storage room might not be ready for the trash. When properly stored and still usable, leftover paint can be reused or donated instead of discarded. At Global Paint for Charity, we help give surplus paint another opportunity to serve communities by recovering and redistributing it for homes, schools, and other community needs. 💚 By making more thoughtful decisions about the materials we use, we can help reduce unnecessary waste and encourage responsible reuse. 🌎 Discover how we're giving leftover paint another purpose through the link in our bio. #GlobalPaintForCharity #EnvironmentalEducation #PaintReuse #CircularEconomy

From donated paint to hands at work, every step helps create something meaningful. • Color transforms spaces. A fresh coat of paint can help renew homes, schools, and community spaces. • Leftover paint still has value. Keeping usable paint in circulation gives it another opportunity to serve a purpose.

Instead of becoming waste, donated paint can be given a second life. At Global Paint for Charity, we help redirect this resource toward communities that can put it to use.

Where does leftover paint really go? 💧🎨 When paint is poured down the drain, some contaminants may make their way beyond wastewater systems and into the environment, potentially affecting waterways, soil, groundwater, and wildlife. There’s a better way. ♻️ Save what you can. Reuse it for another project. And when usable paint is no longer needed, consider donating it so it can find a new purpose.

The catastrophic flooding in Nepal has devastated communities, taking lives, displacing families, and sweeping away homes, schools, roads, bridges, and livelihoods. This tragedy is especially personal to Global Paint for Charity because this community had previously received donated paint through our mission. The colorful homes and buildings pictured before the flood represented families, neighborhoods, and lives we were honored to support. Today, much of that community has vanished, and many precious lives have been lost. At Global Paint for Charity, we stood with Nepal before this tragedy, and we stand with the people of Nepal today. Currently, Food, clean water, safe shelter, and medical care must come first. But as communities begin rebuilding, paint can play an important role in restoring homes, classrooms, community spaces, and a sense of dignity and hope. A freshly painted wall can tell a family: your home is becoming home again. It can tell a child: your classroom is ready to welcome you back. And it can remind a community: you are not forgotten. We stand in solidarity with the people of Nepal and with the courageous first responders, volunteers, humanitarian organizations, and communities working through this tragedy. We are following the situation closely and will share updates as recovery efforts develop. We will not forget the people in Nepal. 🔗 globalpaints.org #Nepal #StandWithNepal #PrayForNepal #GlobalPaintForCharity #DisasterRelief HumanitarianSupport RebuildNepal RestoreHope

From surplus paint to brighter classrooms. These photos show more than pallets of paint. They demonstrate Global Paint for Charity’s capacity to collect, process, prepare, move, and ship large volumes of usable paint while keeping valuable materials out of the waste stream and putting them back to work in communities in need.

When a disaster strikes, the first response is food, water, and medical care. That part makes the headlines. But rebuilding takes years. And somewhere along the way, paint becomes one of the most important tools a community has. A freshly painted school tells children it is safe to come back. A restored clinic wall signals that care is available. A painted home reminds a family that life can feel normal again. These are not small things for people recovering from trauma. Paint does not just cover damage. It restores dignity. It signals that a community is worth investing in. It gives people something to look forward to. As Venezuela begins its long road to recovery, Global Paint for Charity is preparing to play our part in the rebuilding phase. We will share more as our response develops. 🔗 globalpaints.org #Venezuela #VenezuelaEarthquake #GlobalPaintForCharity #DisasterRecovery #RebuildVenezuela

Global Paint for Charity is pleased to share that a 40-foot container carrying 4,000 gallons of latex paint has arrived in Cap-Haïtien, Haiti. We are currently awaiting customs clearance before the project officially begins. This shipment is part of our Basic School Beautification Program, delivered in partnership with BINAH Foundation, led by CEO Rachelle Simon, and LAKOUNSA Foundation, which is providing local coordination on the ground. The donated paint will be used to restore schools, support youth initiatives, and improve family homes in underserved communities across the region. This marks our 5th container shipped to Haiti, bringing our cumulative total to over 20,000 gallons donated to the country since we began our relief and development efforts there. We will continue to provide updates as the process moves forward. We are grateful for the continued trust and generosity of our donors, partners, and volunteers who make this work possible. 🔗 Read the full story: https://www.globalpaints.org/delivering-hope-and-color-4000-gallons-of-paint-arrived-in-caribbean-to-transform-schools-in-cap-haitien-haiti/ #GlobalPaintForCharity #Haiti #SocialImpact #PaintForGood #CommunityDevelopment

Our hearts are with the people of Venezuela. The earthquakes that struck on June 24 have devastated communities across the country, leaving thousands of families without homes, schools, or safe shelter. As search and rescue efforts continue, the scale of what needs to be rebuilt is becoming clearer every day. At Global Paint for Charity, we know that rebuilding takes time. Food, water, and medical care come first. But paint comes sooner than most people think. A freshly painted wall tells a family: your home is yours again. It tells a child: your school is safe. It tells a community: you are worth restoring. We are following the situation closely and will share updates as they develop. 🔗 globalpaints.org #Venezuela #VenezuelaEarthquake #GlobalPaintForCharity #DisasterRelief #Rebuild

The place where kids grow up, where communities gather, where dreams start. At Global Paint for Charity, we've painted schools, homes, community centers and yes, sports stadiums and courts too. Because every space where people come together deserves to look like it matters. This World Cup season, we're celebrating the beautiful game and the beautiful communities behind it.

🎨⚽ We painted their schools. Now the world will see their colors. Haiti is heading to the FIFA World Cup for the first time in 52 years—and we couldn't be more proud to have been part of their story. Earlier this year, Global Paint for Charity delivered 4,000 gallons of paint to Cap-Haïtien, restoring classrooms and bringing color back to communities that have faced so much hardship. A fresh coat of paint doesn't just brighten walls. It restores dignity, pride, and hope. Go, Les Grenadiers. The world is watching, and your colors have never been brighter. 🔵🔴 Learn more at globalpaints.org. #WorldCup2026 #Haiti #LesGrenadiers #GlobalPaintForCharity #ColorIsHope

💧 DID YOU KNOW? Paint should never go down the drain. Even small amounts of leftover paint can contaminate rivers, lakes, and groundwater, creating long-term environmental impacts on ecosystems and water quality. Many people don't realize that paint is considered household hazardous waste when disposed of improperly. What seems like a small amount can contribute to a much bigger environmental problem. That's why responsible paint recycling and reuse matter. At Global Paint for Charity, we're helping keep usable paint out of landfills and waterways while giving it a second life in communities that need it most. ♻️ Don't waste it. Donate it. Reuse it. #DidYouKnow #PaintWaste #PaintRecycling #Sustainability #EnvironmentalAwareness #WaterPollution #GlobalPaintForCharity #CircularEconomy #WasteReduction #EcoFriendly

A truck full of paint. A future full of possibilities. 🎨♻️ Thank you to @loweshomeimprovement in Florida for donating discontinued paint products to Global Paint for Charity.

One gallon at a time. #GlobalPaintForCharity #PaintRecycling #Sustainability #CommunityImpact #WasteReduction #CircularEconomy #Lowes

🎨 Did you know Americans waste over 100 million gallons of paint every year? Most leftover paint ends up in landfills or drains, contributing to: • Soil contamination • Water pollution • Harmful VOC emissions • Long-term environmental waste At Global Paint for Charity, we believe paint should create impact, not pollution. ♻️ Instead of waste, donated paint can help transform schools, shelters, community centers, and underserved spaces around the world. Small actions. Big color. Real change. 🌎 Learn more: https://www.globalpaints.org/ #PaintWaste #Sustainability #Recycling #EnvironmentalAwareness #GlobalPaintForCharity #WasteReduction #EcoFriendly #PaintRecycling #ClimateAction #Nonprofit #EnvironmentalImpact #CircularEconomy

One of the pillars of GPC’s Zero Paint Waste Goal is achieving true community empowerment.

With your support, we can continue to transform communities and protect our planet one gallon of paint at a time. 🌐 Learn more at www.globalpaints.org #GlobalPaintForCharity #ZeroPaintWaste #CircularEconomy #CommunityImpact #Sustainability ReuseAndRecycle SocialGood EnvironmentalJustice HopeInColor MakeADifference

What an unforgettable day for our 15th Annual Earth Day Celebration. The weather was perfect, the turnout was incredible, and the spirit of service was inspiring. Two major events. Two counties. 5000 participants. One mission. On the same day for Earth Day, Global Paint for Charity proudly hosted two successful paint recovery drives in Gwinnett and Cobb Counties, and both events exceeded expectations. Together, we collected thousands of gallons of paint that could have negatively impacted our environment if discarded improperly. Instead, those products will now be reused to beautify schools, hospitals, women’s centers, community spaces, and support local artists in underserved neighborhoods around the world. A heartfelt thank you to the media and our outstanding partners who helped make this possible. In Gwinnett County, we are deeply grateful to Gwinnett County Government, Gwinnett Clean & Beautiful, and all supporters and participants. In Cobb County, special thanks to the YMCA team, InsideOut Painting Centers, Pope High School, and the Cobb County Government. Special shoutout to our volunteers and partners who have supported Global Paint for Charity for the past 15 years. Thank you for your hard work and belief in this mission. To our nonprofit friends and partners who lent their teams, trucks, and equipment, we see you and appreciate you. We have made meaningful progress together over the last 15 years. This movement has always been powered by people who care. This milestone would not be possible without you. Stay tuned for the full impact report and details on future events. Together, we are transforming communities and changing lives, one gallon at a time. #globalpaintforcharity #atlantastartup #earthday2026 #colorspeaksalllanguages

Another satisfied supporter, and another opportunity to say thank you. A few weeks ago, Brandon, a small-business owner, reached out seeking a solution. Like many small paintstore owners or contractors, he was facing the reality of disposing of usable paint, a process that would have cost his business thousands of dollars with little to no ROI. What he saw as a challenge, we saw as an opportunity. Through the work of Global Paint for Charity and with the support of our dedicated team, volunteers, and partners, we were able to step in and offer a different path. Instead of sending that paint to waste, Brandon decided to donate it. That decision helped bring color, happiness, and hope to communities in need. At the same time, Brandon received a tax-deductible contribution, turning a costly burden into a meaningful investment. This is what a true win-win looks like. We are honored to serve small business owners like Brandon who choose to work with us, and we are deeply grateful to our team and partners who make moments like this possible every day. Together, we are changing communities and transforming lives one gallon of paint at a time. . #GlobalPaintForCharity #CircularEconomy #SmallBusinessSupport #Sustainability #CommunityImpact

Donor Spotlight: Flying Colors 💙❤️💚💛🧡 This Spring, we’re proud to highlight Flying Colors, a small business with a big heart making a global impact. For over 6 years, under the leadership of Stephan Drumheller, Flying Colors has donated hundreds of gallons of leftover paint to Global Paint for Charity, turning waste into opportunity. Instead of ending up in landfills, this paint has helped transform homes, schools, and community spaces around the world. Their impact goes beyond donations. Through both paint and financial support, they’ve helped us deliver color, hope, and happiness across the Caribbean, Latin America, and Africa. One powerful example is nearly 3,000 gallons donated to Guyana, which revitalized schools, places of worship, and shelters, and improved the lives of thousands in Georgetown. This is what it means to lead with purpose. To Stephan and the Flying Colors team, thank you for helping us paint change, one gallon at a time.

Today, our team had the honor of participating in an insightful and highly practical webinar hosted by the @charitynav igator team. We are truly grateful for the opportunity to engage directly with their experts and gain clarity on the evolving standards, innovative tools, and updated scoring methodologies that shape nonprofit ratings today. The session provided valuable guidance on strengthening transparency, improving data completeness, and aligning our policies and reporting with best practices that matter to donors. For organizations like ours, these standards are not just about a score. They are about accountability, operational excellence, and building lasting trust with the communities and supporters we serve. Learning how workplace policies, data updates, and profile completeness influence ratings empowers us to be more intentional, strategic, and impact driven. We appreciate the Charity Navigator team for creating space for education, dialogue, and continuous improvement. We remain committed to strengthening our systems, enhancing transparency, and ensuring that every gallon of paint we recover and redistribute is backed by integrity, measurable impact, and public trust.

Community is built in moments like this. At our recent paint drive, dog owners stopped by to responsibly dispose of used paint, reconnect with neighbors, and even make a few new four-legged friends along the way. These simple interactions turn a paint drive into something more meaningful. They create space for conversation, connection, and shared purpose. By recycling paint, we protect the environment, support community projects, and help raise funds that benefit wildlife and local ecosystems. We invite dog owners, community leaders, property managers, and organizations to experience this same sense of connection by participating in or hosting a paint drive. It is an easy, visible way to bring people together while supporting a cause that truly matters. Interested in becoming a host or partner and helping us expand our impact through paint recycling?
