The Purp Impact
Up to this point The Purp Effect has been able to support a diverse array of projects from our primary partner GYM Network (Global Youth Mentorship) by donating 25-50% of sales from every item sold. While the contributions are micro-donations, we believe that the quantity of impact is not relevant, but the purpose. Therefore, our support is strategic and helps lead to areas of projects that best help to further sustainability and development within the respective communities of each initiative. Below are the projects we have had the opportunity to collaborate with thus far.
