Making a difference in and for our communities is part of the proud Sherwin-Williams legacy. Our community engagement efforts include an intentional focus on supporting causes and charitable organizations important to our employees, communities, customers and stakeholders around the world. We strive to maximize our community engagement impact by committing to causes where we believe we can make the biggest difference for our neighbors.

Led by The Sherwin-Williams Foundation, and supported by our employees, our charitable giving is accomplished through strategic affiliations with key community partners. We prioritize support for efforts seeking to create sustainable impact in the following focus areas: 

• Enhancing healthy housing and well-being: Supporting access to healthy housing and programs designed to foster the economic and physical well-being of children and families;
• Advancing a skilled workforce: Invest in education and training programs that empower individuals with the skills needed to thrive in our industry; and
• Beautifying and preserving community assets: Enhance and preserve public spaces and select landmarks, enriching the quality of life in our communities.

Sherwin-Williams also encourages generosity among employees. We offer tools to help employees connect with worthy causes, including a Matching Gifts Program, streamlined payroll deductions and organized giving campaigns. The Company covers the administrative fees associated with donations made through our online giving platform, ensuring that every donated dollar reaches the intended nonprofit organization.
