Diamond Vogel and Keep Iowa Beautiful announced the grant awards for the 2021 Paint Iowa Beautiful program. The program provides free paint to a wide variety of public service projects throughout Iowa.

"Governor Reynolds will be signing a proclamation designating April as Keep Iowa Beautiful month and we are pleased to do our part by awarding paint to 132 community projects in Iowa," said Doug Vogel, Vice-President, Marketing, of the Iowa based company. "The partnership with Keep Iowa Beautiful allows Diamond Vogel to assist and work with many local volunteers that help build communities, making Iowa one of the best states in the nation to live."

"The Paint Iowa Beautiful program helps us increase our assistance to neighborhoods and communities in improving the attractiveness and beauty of where we live," said Kevin Techau, Executive Director of Keep Iowa Beautiful. "These projects definitely improve the beauty of Iowa, its countryside and its communities."

In addition to paint projects, join over 90 communities participating in Keep Iowa Beautiful's Pick Up Iowa annual program by cleaning up litter and trash along Iowa's roadsides, neighborhoods, streets, school grounds, parks and streams.
