What Is Purple For Purpose?

Purple For Purpose recognizes graduating students who reach a cumulative $100 gift total during their time at Unity Environmental University.

Students who reach this total receive:

  • A Purple Philanthropy Cord to wear at Commencement
  • Recognition as part of the graduating class
  • Participation in a growing student philanthropy tradition

Participation is entirely voluntary.

How it Works

Graduating students qualify for a Purple Philanthropy Cord when they reach a cumulative $100 gift total during their time at Unity.

Gifts may be:

  • Made directly by the graduating student
  • Made in honor of the student by family members or friends

To ensure proper recognition, the graduating student’s name must be included when a gift is made.

All eligibility is verified prior to Commencement.
