Diamond Vogel Paint and Keep Iowa Beautiful Announce 2018 Grant Awards

April 4, 2018

Diamond Vogel Paint and Keep Iowa Beautiful announced the grant awards for the 2018 Paint Iowa Beautiful program.  The program provides free paint to a wide variety of public service projects throughout Iowa. This year, and 2019, Diamond Vogel agreed to expand the paint allocation to include Iowa’s 70 state parks.  2020 will mark the 100th anniversary of Iowa’s state park system.

“Governor Reynolds has signed a proclamation designating April as Keep Iowa Beautiful month and we are pleased to do our part by awarding paint to 110 community projects in Iowa,” said Doug Vogel, Vice-President, Trade Marketing, of the Iowa based company.  “The partnership with Keep Iowa Beautiful allows Diamond Vogel Paint to assist and work with the many local volunteers that help build communities, making Iowa the number one state in the nation to live.”

Gerald Schnepf, Executive Director of Keep Iowa Beautiful added, “The Paint Iowa Beautiful program helps us increase our assistance to neighborhoods, communities, historic projects and other public service organizations in improving the attractiveness and beauty of our home areas.  These projects definitely improve the beauty of Iowa, its countryside, and its communities.”

In the 15 year partnership with KIB, Diamond Vogel has awarded over 9,648 gallons of paint for 786 community projects in Iowa.
