Empowering Nonprofits, Inspiring Donors
Parichute is a nonprofit-focused fundraising platform built on a simple idea: when organizations and donors work together, they can create greater impact.
Meet our Founder,
Kyle Marie Crognale.
Kyle was a television news anchor who saw firsthand the needs in her community. From behind the desk, she felt limited in the hands-on support she was able to provide, both personally and professionally.
Having built strong connections with local and national nonprofits, Kyle repeatedly heard the same challenge: making the shift to online fundraising was costly but necessary move. Platform fees, processing fees, and hidden charges were eating into every campaign, limiting the impact nonprofits could make with each donor's generosity.
A natural problem-solver, Kyle set out to design a better way. A way that puts people's needs above profit. Partnering with impact investors and a network of nonprofit collaborators, she created a solution that puts nonprofits first: free fundraising technology. No fees, no contracts, nothing standing in the way of impact.
Today, Parichute is proud to be the only US-based platform that provides a 100% free model, working hand-in-hand with nonprofits of all sizes, causes, locations and stages of development. Together, we work to save money, simplify fundraising, and maximize community impact.
