What is Paint It Forward?
Paint It Forward is That 1 Painter's nationwide free house painting charity event. Every year, our local franchise owners team up to gift complete paint transformations to deserving families, small businesses, and non-profits in their communities. With over 100 simultaneous projects, we donate more than $1,000,000 in free professional painting services to neighbors who need a fresh start. It's our way of giving back — one home, one story, one fresh coat at a time.

Giving back to the community is at the heart of everything we do. Through our nationwide charitable painting initiative, we believe local philanthropy and neighborhood-driven outreach programs are essential to building stronger, more connected communities. Every free home painting project for families in need, every donated commercial paint job for a struggling small business, and every volunteer-led restoration of a non-profit space is a chance to pay it forward and create lasting impact. By supporting deserving families, faith-based organizations, veterans, and community-focused charities, we hope to inspire a culture of generosity — proving that a fresh coat of paint can be so much more than color on a wall. It can be hope, dignity, and a brand new beginning.
