INVESTING IN THE FUTURE
Through strategic partnerships, Benjamin Moore enables individuals to achieve careers they never thought possible. Since 2015, we have provided more than $1 million in scholarship and program funding to help provide access to enhanced education and workplace opportunities.
In 2024, Benjamin Moore, the Black Interior Designers Network, Inc., and Howard University’s Chadwick A. Boseman College of Fine Arts partnered to award the first Kimberly Elaine Ward Scholarship, setting the stage for aspiring designers to receive necessary support and resources.
PRESERVING OUR HISTORY
Benjamin Moore is proud of our role in protecting and preserving history for the future. Our sustainable coatings contribute to the success of numerous projects that maintain and beautify our environment and enhance historic places for generations to come.
Benjamin Moore and the National Trust for Historic Preservation (National Trust) are giving much-needed attention to several stops on Route 66, helping to tell their diverse and meaningful stories and refresh key pieces of Americana—from photo-op worthy signs and motels to tribal landmarks and more. In addition to providing paint and funding for this multiyear campaign, the company also aided the organization’s Legacy Business Grant Fund, which offers financial support to businesses to preserve historic places along the iconic route.
Follow along on our journey across the legendary Route 66.
