Live Purple Give Gold Advocate Toolkit
On April 16, the Panther community will come together to celebrate Live Purple Give Gold. When you Live Purple, you celebrate the experiences, people and moments that shaped your UNI story. When you Give Gold, you create new opportunities for today’s students by supporting what matters most to you.
As an advocate, you take it one step further by turning your passion into action and inspiring others to give alongside you.
Our goal:
1,876 donors
The date:
April 16
Your impact:
Advocate. Share. Inspire.
Advocate checklist
Show YOUR Panther Pride! Sign up as a Live Purple Give Gold Advocate and help us make April 16 a day to remember. Last year, Live Purple Give Gold Advocates influenced over 400 gifts to UNI by encouraging their friends and family to give too.
- Make your gift: Lead with support; when you give first, others follow.
- Share your story: Make it personal! Highlight an area on campus that means the most to you.
- Track your impact: Include your personal link to see your results (looks like https://give.uni.edu/live-purple-give-gold-2026?a=XXXXXXXX).
Each gift adds up, and it all starts with you.
Your reward? When you give and influence two others on your personal link, you'll receive a gift from the UNI Alumni Association & Foundation.
