Alumni Club Recognition Program

The Purdue for Life Foundation’s Alumni Club Recognition Program recognizes clubs that go above and beyond to support the vision and mission of Purdue University. These high-achieving clubs can earn Gold, Silver, or Bronze status, as described below.

Clubs that achieve one of these tiers receive financial incentives each year to support their general operations and club scholarship. Funds will be provided twice each year in the form of checks sent to the club treasurer, with half of the funds covered in each installment. Checks will be sent in August and January of each fiscal year.

Funds provided to clubs are based on the following:

• Submission of the annual agreement
• Adherence to the annual agreement requirements
• Submission of the volunteer agreement by each individual board member
• Number of Purdue Alumni Association members in the club’s geographic area
• Standing of the club based on the recognition program:
  • Gold—$2.50 per PAA member in the club’s geographic area plus $500 in operational funds
  • Silver—$1.50 per member plus $500 in operational funds
  • Bronze—$500 flat-fee payment
• Scholarship donations if the club achieved the level of Gold or Silver in the club recognition program:
  • Gold—$1,000 (or $500 for clubs that hold accounts outside of PRF)
  • Silver—$600 (or $300 for clubs that hold accounts outside of PRF)

NOTE: Qualifying clubs also receive a decorative felt Block P, a commemorative letter, and recognition during an annual celebration.
