Community outreach and engagement

Empowering decisions, improving outcomes

Our mission at HealthEquity is to save and improve lives by empowering healthcare consumers. As experts in our field, we are driven to help bridge the gap in financial literacy and confidence.

Purple with Purpose: building stronger communities through action

The Purple with Purpose program gives team members the opportunity to support 501(c)(3) organizations they are passionate about. Each full-time team member can use up to 16 hours of annual volunteer time off (VTO) for community service, and part-time team members can use up to 8 hours.

Guided by Purple with Purpose Champions, the program also organizes group volunteer activities in six regions that have significant team member presence. Our Purple with Purpose Champions partner with many organizations for team members to use their VTO.

To offer more ways for our remote team members to give back, Purple with Purpose partners with Lemontree - a nonprofit focused on combating food insecurity. Through Lemontree’s innovative SMS helpline and online database, HealthEquity volunteers can connect individuals in need to vital resources like food banks, soup kitchens, pantries, and SNAP programs from anywhere.

By offering personalized, location-based food resource lists, we’re using technology to make a meaningful impact, helping families access the assistance they need.
