Purple Heart also advocates on behalf of veterans' issues, provides scholarships, and conducts outreach programs to assist disabled veterans. As a non-profit organization the Purple Heart Charity depends on the generosity of Americans to fund its many programs to assist our veterans. Donations are fully tax-deductible.
