The Global Paint for Charity seeks individuals firmly committed to our vision and mission to participate in the leadership of our organization.

The Global Paint for Charity, Inc. (AKA "GPC" or "Global Paint") is a non-profit organization headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, working together with commercial businesses, residential households, and other not-for-profit organizations to recycle Latex paint to change lives and protect the environment. We started our programs in March 2010, hoping to collect 500 gallons of paint to renovate schools and orphanages in the Caribbean and Africa within the year. The paint was contained in a single day was unbelievable. The spectacular response from our supporters, partners, volunteers, and the media has encouraged us to continue to collect paint and raise money to distribute paint in as many impoverished villages in isolated rural locations worldwide as possible. We have redistributed more than 360,000 tons of color to help renovate and rejuvenate family homes, homeless shelters, schools, churches, orphanages, and hospitals in many major U.S. cities and targeted communities worldwide.

Global Paint for Charity, Inc. remains a one-of-a-kind group, adding color and encouragement to people's lives worldwide. Our worldwide volunteers have painted 10500 family homes, including 780 schools, 109 orphanages, and 180 churches and homeless shelters. We have created many jobs in the U.S., from Truck Drivers to light warehouse workers. Through our Juvenile Community Service and Restitution Program, the local Juvenile Court judges and High Schools throughout the states send young people and adults to volunteer and work at our donation centers and warehouse facility, where our staff oversee and evaluate their work. The local high school students and Juvenile offenders have completed 18500 hours of community service so far. Our paint recycling is unique; we focus on university student engagement, and most of our work is carried out primarily through several dedicated interns from the Andrew Young School of Policy Studies at GSU, Emory University, and the University of Georgia, providing generous work experience while keeping our operational costs very low.

Lastly, in the past few years, Global Paint for Charity has received numerous awards, including, but not limited to 2015 Best of Atlanta Awards for Waste Recycling & Disposal Service & Equipment, Best of Gwinnett 2015, 2014 Cynopsis Media Social Good Award in the category "Social Good Shining Stars" with MAXMEDIA, Allstate's Champion for Good 2013, 2014, Non-profit of the Year Awards with Albuquerque Business First, and multiple spotlight news stories including CNN Impact Your World, ABC and AJC to site a few. In 2016, we sought to change lives, paint more family homes, and inspire all to paint the world beautiful.

At Global Paint for Charity, we believe a little layer of paint on the walls will change everyone's life for years to come; it also protects the exterior and interior surfaces from bacteria, diseases, harmful germs, mold, severe dirt, sanitation, and temperature changes...Conditions that take more than 3 million lives each year.
