Paint Iowa Beautiful 2026 Applications Due NEXT WEEK

posted on 2/6/26

Well-maintained public buildings reflect pride and enhance the economic vitality of our communities. Whether it's a public facing building, a park shelter, a dugout at a local little league field or a sign, welcoming people to your town, a fresh coat of paint can be transformative!

 

Do you know of a project in your community that could use a fresh coat of paint? Our Paint Iowa Beautiful program is accepting applications through February 12th!

 

Grant Applications - Due February 12th, 2026

 

The 15 gallons of paint was more than upgrading a small-town community room into a fresh, energized space. More adults are signing up for afternoons of coffee, conversation, and cards! Because of some of their special needs, we have partnered with the Sibley-Ocheyedan FFA and shop class to design sturdy card tables for those players with mobility issues. Because the tables turned out so well, an area nursing home is interested in them, as well. 

The paint was a conduit for further projects!
