Paint it forward and do something big with your brush strokes. I’m sure you know the feeling. The back and forth of your paintbrush. The weight of the paint after you dip it into the pot. The feeling of seeing something transform into beauty with your own hand… Painting is an extraordinary experience that feeds your soul and provides a creative and productive way to relax. Naturally, it follows that painting can help your community too.
What we do:
Fusion has an excellent giving campaign called Painting It Forward. We make private donations and work with charities to use paint to heal our community. Currently, we partner with 7 charities:
- Homes & Havens not only provides painted pieces to people in need, but they also offer paint therapy workshops for women suffering from trauma.
- Toronto Star Fresh Air Fund – provides camp organizations with funds to send underprivileged and special needs Toronto children to summer camp for free.
- Just Paws Animal Rescue – a non-profit organization that rescues animals and re-homes them, operating on a foster home and no-put down policy.
- The Scott Mission – an Ontario-based charity that feeds, shelters, and serves homeless, poor, and otherwise vulnerable people.
- United Way – a global non-profit organization that supports each community based on its needs.
- Moosenee Puppy Rescue – provides rescue and some veterinary services to remote Northern Ontario communities, where vets are rare and dogs are often not spayed or neutered.
