Diamond Vogel and Keep Iowa Beautiful are proud to announce the recipients of the 2025 Paint Iowa Beautiful grants. This long-standing partnership supports community betterment projects across the state by providing free paint for initiatives that improve public spaces such as historic buildings, libraries, schools, parks, and community facilities.
“Diamond Vogel is proud to work with dedicated volunteers who are committed to strengthening the economic vitality of Iowa’s communities,” said Doug Vogel, Vice President of Marketing and Strategic Relationships of Diamond Vogel. “These projects not only enhance the visual appeal of our towns but also foster collaboration, pride, and a deeper sense of belonging among Iowans.”
In its 21-year partnership with Keep Iowa Beautiful, Diamond Vogel has awarded enough paint to cover over five million square feet of surface area, supporting 1,564 community projects throughout Iowa.
“Paint Iowa Beautiful is more than just fresh paint. It’s about revitalizing community spaces and strengthening connections,” shared Andy Frantz, Executive Director of Keep Iowa Beautiful. “When volunteers come together to improve local amenities, it cultivates leadership, civic pride, and a renewed sense of place.”
In 2025, 87 Paint Iowa Beautiful grants are being awarded to support community beautification projects across Iowa.
