Pete Parker

Reno, NV

I'm a loving father, husband, and brother whose quest is to make the most of his community, relationships, and ideas. I'm a University of Arizona alum, who grew up in southern California, yet has lived in northern Nevada since 1995.

Much of my time is spent connecting donors and leaders to charitable organizations and, at the same time, charities to small-to-large businesses...through my company, NPcatalyst.

With a partner, I manage an online giving tool called GiftingWishes, which helps non-profit organizations (regardless of geographic location) raise online donations to fulfill wish lists and funding needs.

With two other partners, I manage a new company focused on connecting college students with employers offering internships and full-time employment. At the same time, we're offering leadership development and career preparation resources to help students gain new skills, thus building their portfolio appeal.

No idea is too small, every idea is worth considering. Slightly changed...no charitable organization is unworthy, every non-profit is worth helping.
