Dear Friend,
I
hope you are doing great. I am going after this small business
grant in the Chase Mission Street grant competition and need your
support for Global Paint for Charity. When most organizations ask for
donations to be sent to third-world countries, many people think of
sending money, food or clothing. But Global Paint for Charity, Inc.
(“Global Paint” or “GPC”) is one of the organizations focused on the
future of our children and their environments by shipping paint. Our
mission is to recover leftover paint from these residences as well as
businesses, reprocess it and distribute it to vulnerable individuals and
families in developing countries around the world. While there may be
more pressing issues in developing countries than the facade of a
building, when someone really thinks about it, the right color in a room
can truly change the ambiance of a place and the attitudes of those who
inhabit it. Through our efforts, we give people the opportunity to
enjoy the beauty of their home through recycled paint. We are changing
lives and saving the world one gallon of paint at a time.
Another
major factor behind the paint movement is that it's also better for the
environment. Recycling the paint reduces waste and saves the country
money. According to the industry sources, every resident in America has
4-to-10 gallons of leftover paint in their basement. Sadly, each year 30
million gallons of paint in the U.S. become trash and wind up in the
landfills, yet, nearly 90% of the 2.5 billion people living on less than
$2/day in the developing world can’t secure sufficient income for their
basic needs and have money to buy a 5 gallon bucket of paint usually
costs $89.99 – $130.99/bucket. They need to buy rice and bread to eat,
medicine, soap, water, clothes, and money for education and shelter. For
millions of children and their families, the paint is the gift of life,
hope and happiness.
Global
Paint for Charity, Inc. remains a one-of-a-kind group adding color and
encouragement to people's lives worldwide. Since we started collecting
paint in 2010, as many as 500-to-6000 gallons of paint have been shipped
at a time to developing countries, including Kenya, Ghana, Guinea,
Uganda, Haiti, Jamaica, Dominican Republic, Honduras, El Salvador,
Guyana, and Mexico. The paint has been used for housing rehabilitation
projects including family homes, hospitals, schools, churches, and
orphanages, which can get costly since we paid for the shipping out of
our own pocket. We are currently working to secure volunteers ad
collaborate with other organization, grassroots groups, and teams in
every state as well as actively seeking new funding to support our
mission.
We
are excited for each new day as it brings more opportunities to share
our vision with the world and continue to paint the world beautiful.
Focusing on preserving our environment by keeping paint out of landfills
and water sources and the process of recycling unused paint (harmful
waste) and using it as a resource to improve the living conditions of
our poor has distinguished GPC as a deserving non-profit to support. We
hope that you will join us in our mission.
