Endorsements

We’re pleased and honored to enlist the support of many leaders as we create significant community impact. We’re thankful to receive endorsements from many, including:

Allegra Printing - “Pete helped Allegra Printing reach out to the non-profit community and share information about our Footprint Fund, which provides free printing to non-profits looking to make a difference. Pete’s long-time knowledge of non-profits and his robust database of non-profit leaders was an invaluable asset and allowed us to reach many quickly. Allegra Printing understands the importance of increasing our community connections and involvement, and we support an organization like NPcatalyst that helps other businesses increase their community connections and involvement.” (Scott Kelley – Allegra’s sales manager and Washoe County School Board trustee).

Alliance for Nevada Nonprofits (ANN) - “While corporate philanthropists benefit from Health Check, we’re excited to see how Nevada’s nonprofits can benefit by using the five key organizational strength indicators to increase their funding and capacity to fulfill their missions.” 

Blue Moon Advertising & Promotional Products - We support local, Northern Nevada-based organizations. “Any non-profit organization rated with a NPHealthCheck rating of 75% or greater score will receive special consideration for funding.”

Breakthrough Training – “Spend five minutes with Pete and you will know that he is the person to consult with concerning everything you want to know about non-profit organizations. Pete knows how to create value and how to best interface with the community.”

Coldwell Banker Commercial Clay & Associates - “I have known Pete for some time now and it never ceases to amaze me the amount of energy that Pete puts into everything that he does. His commitment to this community goes above and beyond the call of duty and Pete truly defines what is great about volunteerism and community. Whether I see Pete at a social event or a fundraiser, or I run into him with his kids at an Aces game, he always has time to talk and always has a smile on his face. Pete worked for an organization that I was involved with in 2007, and while the downturn in the economy had many people running for the hills, it only invigorated Pete and fueled his fire.” (Michael Maloney)

Lee & Associates - I have personally seen Pete work incredibly diligently to advance his client’s interests.  His true genius is getting the most out of what he has to work with; be that the limited resources of a non-profit or getting the most bang for your buck for a corporation that is looking to give back to their community. (Bram Buckley)

Lightray Studios – “Pete Parker is one motivated and involved individual!  Every time I turn a corner, Mr. Parker is lending a hand, organizing an event, having a meeting and bringing people together to help the community.  He not only takes care of business but also is a great father to his kids”.

NAIAlliance – “Community involvement and corporate giving is an essential aspect of any thriving community.  I have known Pete for nearly 10 years and I have seen firsthand his passion for improving our community through enhancing the success of nonprofit organizations.  At the same time Pete and NPcatalyst help corporate givers target their charitable donations to ensure the maximum positive impact on the community and the company.  I cannot think of a better service to our community during these very difficult economic times.” (Scott Beggs)

Unconventional Training – “It’s my pleasure to recommend Pete Parker as a valuable resource for nonprofits committed to creating thriving, well-connected organizations.  Pete has a remarkable history of working with multiple nonprofits, both as a consultant and volunteer, to help them build strong boards and raise funds to achieve their goals.  He is a thoughtful and energetic professional who helps organizations succeed at a higher level.  Pete works tirelessly to build a healthy community and has won awards for his volunteering efforts, including his service on many nonprofit boards of directors.” (Guy Farmer)  

One of the proactive ways Pete improves the community professionally is through his HealthCheck program which helps nonprofits build beneficial relationships with donors and access community resources.  This program is an example of Pete’s forward-thinking view that encourages organizations to create a strong foundation for future success.  His consulting services through NPcatlayst help nonprofits evaluate the health of their organizations and invite donors and community supporters to engage with them.

Western Nevada Supply – WNS supports locally-based non-profit organizations affecting the lives of children. “The HealthCheck tool provides us with detailed information about community organizations, helping us determine our charitable contribution choices.”
