Amigos de Purdue is an annual gift club at Purdue University, created to support the Latino Cultural Center through financial commitments. The LCC serves as a resource to the entire student body, faculty, staff, alumni, and community. The center also strives to celebrate and enhance understanding of the Latino culture through history, accomplishments, growth, and empowerment.
Members of Amigos de Purdue are the heart and soul of the Latino Cultural Center and its three main initiatives — Scholarships, Facilities, and Community Outreach and Programs. With an annual gift to the LCC, you automatically become a member of Amigos de Purdue. You may choose to designate your gift to any of the LCC programs or allow the LCC to apply your donation wherever the need is greatest. Your gift is counted as both a donation and participation. The LCC values gifts in any amount and considers them an indicator of your confidence in the LCC.
Areas to support
Embajadores Scholarship Fund
The Scholarship Fund rewards Embajadores (student leaders who volunteer at the Latino Cultural Center) with financial assistance based on their leadership, campus and community involvement, and personal growth.
Facilities
The Latino Cultural Center’s new location has given the center more exposure and space, but it is in need of repairs and improvements to give students full use of the building.
Community Outreach and Programs
Educational, social, professional, and cultural events are hosted and sponsored by the LCC throughout the year. These events are designed to foster open relations with people all across campus and in the community and to celebrate Latino culture. Creation and implementation of programs will continue to grow and develop with time and the availability of funding.
Purdue employees: gifts can be made easily and conveniently via payroll deduction. Please click here for the form.
