About

The name PAINT-IT-FORWARD is based on the amazing movie Pay it Forward. The philosophy behind the idea, the little boy Trevor comes up with in this movie, represents everything I stand for. Paying favors forward, not expecting anything back.
By surprising someone with a PAINT-IT-FORWARD painting you are able to make more than one person happy, since 10% of the price is being transferred to the foundation of your choice (3 foundations preselected by PAINT-IT-FORWARD, all working on a better future for children in need).
    












"Young Trevor McKinney, troubled by his mother's alcoholism and fears of his abusive but absent father, is caught up by an intriguing assignment from his new social tudies teacher, Mr. Simonet. The assignment: think of something to change the world and put it into action. Trevor conjures the notion of paying a favor not back, but forward. Repaying good deeds not with payback, but with new good deeds done to three new people. Trevor's efforts to make good on his idea bring a revolution not only in the lives of himself, his mother and his physically and emotionally scarred teacher, but in those of an ever-widening circle of people completely unknown to him."
The movie is written by Jim Beaver. Directed by Mimi Leder. With Kevin Spacey, Helen Hunt, Haley Joel Osment.
