I would double check with your local priest but I have though and been taught that your can “donate” an indulgence you obtain to a soul in purgatory. And especially since the Holy Father has allowed for a Year of Faith Indulgence it is a great time in the Church for souls in Purgatory and on Earth.

 

[DavidFilmer]

An indulgence is partial or plenary according as it removes either part or all of the temporal punishment due to sin. The faithful can gain indulgences for themselves or apply them to the dead. [CCC 1471]

Since the faithful departed now being purified are also members of the same communion of saints, one way we can help them is to obtain indulgences for them, so that the temporal punishments due for their sins may be remitted. [CCC 1479]

That’s my experience too but truly… I dunno.

Any indulgence may be applied to a soul in Purgatory. The reason the All Souls’ Day and November indulgences are noteworthy because there are indulgences available that are ONLY applicable to the souls in Purgatory.
