Behr Cares Volunteer Program
Established in 2003, our volunteer program provides team members 8 hours paid time annually to serve a charitable organization of their choice.
Volunteer Activities
Through our philanthropic partners, we promote and share team and individual volunteer opportunities such as charity walks and runs, renewal projects, food, clothing, blood drives, and paint/home building projects.
Charitable Gift Matching
Team members' personal charitable donations can be doubled with a company match of up to $5,000 per year.
Volunteer Recognition
Once a quarter, team members are invited to nominate colleagues for a volunteer recognition award from our parent company, Masco. The winning volunteer's charitable organization is awarded a $5000 donation in their name.
Don Bushey is a Behr volunteer superstar who was awarded the Masco Cares Volunteer Award for his support of STAT Ligonier Therapeutic Center, a nonprofit offering equine-assisted programs that serve youth with physical, mental, and/or behavioral disabilities, and veterans and first responders suffering from PTSD.
Two nights a week, Don acts as a "ranch hand" by managing the horses during therapy sessions, using skills he learned growing up around horses in Texas. On weekends and early mornings, he regularly feeds the horses and does chores around the farm.
When asked what motivates him to serve, Don shared, "I love being around horses and find it therapeutic and so different from what I do everyday. On top of that, i get joy out of helping kids succeed at things."

Reflecting on Behr’s ongoing support for City of Hope, Behr President, Jeff Filley, said, “In the memory of those we have lost, those who are fighting cancer today, and those yet to be diagnosed, City of Hope continues its fight for better treatments, preventions, and cures.”
Supplier Diversity
Through our supplier diversity program, we aspire to build a bench of suppliers that reflects both our consumer base and team member base. To that end, we’re increasing our partnerships with businesses that are at least 51% owned and operated by an individual or group that is part of a historically underrepresented or underserved community (e.g., minorities, women, persons with disabilities, LGBTQ+, veterans).
SUSTAINABILITY
Being a good corporate citizen is a part of who we are, and we constantly look for ways to make positive, sustainable changes. We continue to make efforts to reduce our own carbon footprint and improve our operational performance in ways that respect our environment.
This includes areas like manufacturing sustainable coating products that are verified to meet UL Greenguard® certification, MPI Green Performance™ Standard, or both; reducing our impact on water resources in manufacturing processes; and setting annual goals to reduce electricity, trash, and waste.
