COMMUNITIES IN FULL COLOUR

Overview of the COMMUNITIES IN FULL COLOUR program:

The Communities in Full Colour program, a part of Co-op’s Social Responsibility initiatives, is designed to support registered charities, non-profits, youth sport and recreation associations, and community improvement groups by donating paint for local improvement projects. Eligible projects include interior and exterior spaces that address a community need and align with the charitable priorities of the local Co-op. The donation includes interior and exterior paints, primers, stains, and specialty coatings but does not cover application tools, surface preparation, or repair materials. Co-op prioritizes projects within their trading areas, ensuring a direct impact on their local communities. Applications are reviewed by local Co-op associations, and selected projects receive notifications through the nearest Co-op Home Centre.
