Empowering Painters.

Building Opportunities 

At the Dunn-Edwards Foundation, we believe in people who paint. Especially those who choose to make it their life’s work.

For over 100 years, Dunn-Edwards Corporation has  been serving professionals with the products, services and support they need to succeed. And now it is going one step further. 

As a separate charitable organization pending IRS 501 (c) (3) status,  the Dunn-Edwards Foundation is  committed to create vibrant futures for generations of trades people yet to come. Our mission is clear: bridge the skills gap in professional painting, foster learning while taking care of participants, and create inclusive and equitable working conditions where everyone can thrive. 

Explore our vocational programs where we team up with non-profits that provide wrap-around support, discover more about our community initiatives, and learn how you can be part of industry-changing advocacy efforts. Join us and together, we will paint our way into a brighter future for those in the painting trades.
