Parity Platforms

Parity Platforms is a Louisiana-based civic product studio that helps nonprofits, mission-driven businesses, public agencies, and individuals turn services, programs, and social-impact missions into practical software. Its work focuses on making essential information and services easier to find and use, guided by a commitment to plain language and equal access. The studio develops learning and literacy tools, mental health education and outreach, local guides to services and programs, volunteer coordination systems, and tools for intake, tracking, and reporting on grant-funded programs.

One featured project, Louisiana Fiber, helps people compare internet providers by address using independent federal broadband data on speeds, prices, and coverage across Louisiana communities. Parity Platforms partners with organizations on defined technology scopes and pricing, and can provide letters of support and budget estimates for funding applications. Clients retain ownership of their data, while hosting and support are offered through a flat monthly subscription.

The studio also works with people providing public-serving services, helping extend their reach through digital tools and, sometimes, ventures created together
