Art has the power to change a child's world
Lyndon and Blakeley, a brother-and-sister team, saw creative kids full of imagination with nowhere to put it — no canvas, no brushes, no colors to call their own. Paint Pals was born from one simple belief: every child deserves the chance to create.
How Paint Pals began
Lyndon and Blakeley, a brother-and-sister team, saw creative kids full of imagination with nowhere to put it — no canvas, no brushes, no colors to call their own. Paint Pals was born from one simple belief: every child deserves the chance to create.
What began as a small neighborhood drive quickly gained momentum. Local schools, community centers, Inclusive Arts Clubhouses, inner city creative safe havens, and youth supporting partner organizations joined in, and Paint Pals became a bridge between generous donors, non-profits and the amazing kids who want to make art.
"Our mission has never changed: get paint into the hands of every kid who wants to paint.
Our Mission
To ensure every child — regardless of physical ability, personal story or family income — has access to the art supplies they need to imagine, create, and thrive.
Equity in creativity
Art is not a privilege. We believe every child deserves the tools to express themselves freely.
Community-powered
We work through trusted local partners who know their communities and the kids they serve with love.
Joy as a catalyst
A box of pastels can spark confidence, connection, and a lifelong love of art.
Radical generosity
From individual donors to corporate partners, generosity is the engine that drives everything we do.
Our impact is best described by kids' paintings of rainbows, unicorns and smiley faces.
