Hello and welcome,

Over the past several years, we’ve put our heart and soul into making a great product that’s gained us thousands of loyal users. When we launched Piryx in 2009, we had no idea just what it would become – or what we would learn from it. Piryx gave us the amazing opportunity to help people champion the causes they care about. But it also gave us valuable insight into what people truly want from their fundraising platform.

What started out as a white-label political fundraising platform evolved into a space for causes of all sorts, with nonprofits and individuals using it too. We realized how many people were looking for a way to connect with donors online. Our focus shifted from merely powering transactions to helping causes build relationships as well. We knew we needed to retool the Piryx platform to better deliver on this vision. Enter Rally.

So, what’s different?

With Rally, we’ll give users a more fluid, social, and powerful product:

It’s empowering. With the new Fan Fundraiser feature, your supporters can raise money on your behalf with their own personalized donation pages.

It turns your content into contributions. Rally helps you interact with your community by sharing photos, videos, and messages. This content provides a way to build relationships and provide more opportunities for supporters to give.

It looks better. You’ll have access to professionally designed themes that instantly provide an elegant look and feel to your donation pages.

It’s intelligent. You’ll be able to track where contributions are coming from and which content donors respond to most generously, helping you better optimize each campaign.

Like Piryx, Rally is free to set up and only charges a small transaction fee. If you’re currently using Piryx, rest assured that we’ll help you migrate seamlessly to the new platform soon – make sure to check out the Rally blog for more updates. We’re excited about this new phase in our company’s growth, and we’re more committed than ever to helping you grow your network of supporters and connect more deeply with donors.

Cheers,

Tom Serres
CEO and Founder
