We are deeply grateful to share exciting news! Global Paint for Charity (GPC) has been named a finalist for the “Best Startup for Good” category in the 2025 Startup Atlanta Awards. This honor recognizes outstanding innovation and social impact within Atlanta’s thriving startup community.

From more than 500 nominations, only 45 finalists were selected across nine competitive categories, celebrating companies that are transforming industries and making Georgia a global hub for entrepreneurship and creativity. Startup Atlanta also honors one trailblazer each year with the Lifetime Achievement Award for extraordinary contributions to the region’s startup ecosystem.

For Global Paint for Charity, this recognition is a powerful acknowledgment of the movement we’ve built together — one gallon, one wall, one community at a time. As the world’s first sustainable paint waste management organization and the largest provider and exporter of recycled latex paint to underserved communities worldwide, GPC has always believed that color can be both environmentally responsible and socially transformative.

We are deeply grateful for this nomination. It represents the collective effort of our dedicated volunteers, staff, board of directors, donors, and partners who have worked tirelessly to expand our reach and impact. Every gallon of paint collected, every school beautified, and every community uplifted is a shared victory for everyone involved.

To our Atlanta community, thank you for your continued encouragement and support. You have been the foundation that allowed us to grow from a local idea into a global movement that touches lives in more than 44 countries. This finalist recognition reminds us that Atlanta truly leads the way in supporting innovation for social good.

The 2025 Startup Atlanta Awards, held on October 9 at TSQATL, brought together some of the most inspiring founders, entrepreneurs, and community leaders in Georgia. It was an unforgettable evening filled with energy, creativity, and shared purpose. Standing among this talented group reaffirmed that innovation can thrive alongside compassion — and that social impact belongs at the heart of entrepreneurship.

To our supporters, partners, board members, and volunteers, thank you for making this achievement possible. Your faith in our mission fuels every shipment, every project, and every gallon of paint that transforms lives around the world.

This recognition is a reflection of what we have built together — a movement rooted in sustainability, service, and hope. We are honored to carry this momentum forward as we continue to expand Global Paint for Charity’s vision to bring color, dignity, and opportunity to communities everywhere.

Thank you for believing in our mission and helping us paint the world brighter, one gallon at a time.
