Paint4Good is an initiative created by The Urban Painter to support Calgary’s charitable community and keep Calgary colourful – one paint stroke at a time!
Each year, several Calgary charities or community support organizations in need of a fresh coat of paint are chosen to receive a free interior painting project. The Urban Painter gives their time and Sherwin Williams donates all of the painting supplies in order to create brighter and more colourful spaces for these organizations and their occupants! The Urban Painter has donated over $275,000 in painting services to date.
Tell us about your organization and how we can help create some smiles by brightening your interior space.
The Paint4Good team will vote on submissions and select five recipients to receive up to $10,000 in free interior painting services. Application deadline is November 15th, 2025.
The recipients will be contacted, and we will coordinate a design consultation to help pick your perfect paint colours!
Projects will be chosen after November 15th, 2025 and work will be completed between December 2025 and March 2026.
Paint4Good is open to Calgary-based charities, religious spaces, non-profit organizations and community spaces. Based on submissions received, five recipients will be selected to receive a free interior painting project worth up to $10,000.
Apply Today* All interior painting projects must be in the City of Calgary and will be assessed to ensure they can be completed within the $10,000 donated amount and meet all safety requirements. Access to the space will be required immediately for project completion between December 2025 to March 2026. Full Terms and Conditions can be viewed here.

We can freshen up the interior walls and trim for a preschool, brighten up the lobby of a community center or bring church kitchen cabinets back to life. Just a few ideas!
Paint4Good was launched in April 2020 to support the Calgary community during the COVID-19 pandemic. In its first year, the Urban Painter donated 10 painting projects worth a total of $75,000 to local charities, non-profits and community associations. The Urban Painter has continued to donate painting projects every year since. Learn more about Paint4Good here.
