The Parasol Cooperative is a nonprofit 501c3 organization that provides innovative technology solutions to support survivors and advocates of gender-based violence, domestic violence and human trafficking. Additionally, we serve as a central hub for education, research, and funding, empowering individuals and Victim Service Organizations to safely protect lives through technology. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We have three programs that each tackle a unique challenge in the fight for enablement and empowerment. 

1) SafeConnect – As survivors, advocates and technologists, we empathize with the challenges surrounding scheduling, database management, privacy, reporting, and more, and are committed to simplifying and reimagining these processes with you in SafeConnect. The apps simplify how victim services providers and organizations support and deliver more efficient and discreet care and resources to survivors, all while saving valuable time for advocates. It also reimagines how survivors request services safely from the organizations that are helping them.  

2) Technology and Online Exploitability Safeguards (TOES) - As an education and research arm, TOES helps everyday consumers protect themselves and their loved ones by producing and distributing educational materials. We also collaborate with technology product development companies to establish ethical guidelines to prioritize safety-first in their technology products. 
 
3) Technology Enhancement Fund - This program was created to close a gap for funding technology operational expenses for non-profit victim services providers and organizations. It is a grant making program to help offset annual technology expenses.
