The Foundation is dedicated to supporting youth institutions and programs to help ensure that children in need have the opportunities to live lives of play and comfort that every child deserves.
The Painters and Allied Trades for Children’s Hope Foundation, or PATCH, was founded in 2001 to better the lives of children in need throughout North America.
Supported by the men and women of the International Union of Painters and Allied Trades and other generous donors, to date the PATCH Foundation has given over $1 million to youth organizations throughout the United States and Canada.
Money raised locally by our IUPAT members goes back to their own communities.
