No only will we work to build our communities stronger, we will do so with full transparency across the board.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>Transparency<\/h3>\n<blockquote><p>Money. \u00a0We all need it &#8211; especially organizations and programs that provide outreach. \u00a0Questions that I have before I personally donate a cent of my money is where the money will go and how will the money be used. \u00a0We know the saying, &#8220;follow the money&#8221;, do organizations provide the transparency you want in knowing were every cent of your money is going? \u00a0That is what sets us apart. \u00a0You have full control of where your money will go.<\/p>\n<p>Would you like to help keep our lights on, so our volunteers can work on grant applications? \u00a0Would you like to contribute to our emergency shelter program, helping us to rescue\u00a0victims of physical abuse? Would you like to contribute to our consumer legal fund, helping fund attorney or legal fees for victims we help; or would you like us to apply it to wherever its needed most. \u00a0Any way you donate, you will receive a breakdown of how each penny was spent, and the impact you had on your community.<\/p>\n<p>Giving isn&#8217;t only in the form of financial contributions, we&#8217;re always looking for help.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h3>\n<blockquote><p>Here&#8217;s a link to our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.purpleleaf.org\/about-us\/faq\/\">FAQs<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><em>If you have any questions, <\/em><em>please feel free to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.purpleleaf.org\/contact-us\/\">Contact Us<\/a>!<\/em><\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"twitter-share\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?via=PurpleLeafInc\" class=\"twitter-share-button\" data-size=\"large\">Tweet<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our Mission To simply state it, our mission is to provide education, awareness, and action. \u00a0You can\u2019t have change of any sort if there is no awareness, and no awareness without education.
