PPG and the PPG Foundation investments build the next generation of innovative STEM leaders (science, technology, engineering and mathematics), deliver community transformations through colorful spaces and activate the talent of our employees. From helping students thrive to aiding our neighbors in times of need, our community engagement activities in 2024 supported our company’s purpose to “protect and beautify the world.” See how.

Colorful Communities projects transform classrooms

Since 2015, we completed nearly 600 Colorful Communities projects, bringing color and brightness to community spaces in 50+ countries and impacting more than 10.2 million people. From 2022 to 2024, our New Paint for a New Start campaign provided colorful makeovers to schools around the world, creating spaces where students will thrive.
