Support the Mission

Become a PYHOT Sponsor

A simple way to give back and help beautify the community.

Paint Your Heart Out Tampa runs entirely on volunteers. Every spring, teams of painters step up to transform homes across the city for seniors, veterans, and disabled residents. We don’t receive city or federal funding. Everything we do is made possible by people like you.

Whether you’re a business, an organization, or just someone who wants to help, becoming a sponsor gives us the resources to serve more homes and bring more people together.

Behind Every Painted Home

Why Sponsorship Matters

Your support helps us cover the essentials.
