2023 Worldwide community investments

Volunteers painting mural

PPG and the PPG Foundation investments build the next generation of diverse and 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 2023 supported our company’s purpose to “protect and beautify the world.” See how.

OUR COMMITMENT BY THE NUMBERS

In 2023, we invested $17.5+ million to support more than 450 local community partners and programs around the world. 

CLASSROOM TRANSFORMATIONS IN 2023

Since 2015, we completed 500+ Colorful Communities projects, bringing color and brightness to community spaces in 50 countries and impacting more than 9.2 million people. In 2022 and 2023, our New Paint for a New Start campaign provided colorful makeovers to schools around the world, creating spaces where students will thrive.
