TRANSFORMING LIVES WITH PAINT AND COLOR

In addition to providing $300,000 over two years to Make-A-Wish, the company provided more than 300 gallons of paint to support wishes across the U.S. with Benjamin Moore employees volunteering alongside our retail and contractor partners.

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. Follow our journey along the legendary Route 66 as we commemorate 100 years of this iconic roadway.
