KAVANA
KAVANA means to be “mindful, have intention, or focused direction of the heart.” This is our greatest asset and our commitment to you.
Agency
This agency started with the heartfelt mindset that we all have the infinite potential to impact our communities for the common good; from our philanthropy to our business.
Cause
The Cause is to promote the health, welfare, and prosperity of our communities by working with leaders, faith communities, nonprofits, businesses, and city governments, to see our world flourish.
Your mission does not have to struggle.
Your purpose is worth pursuing and your story is worth sharing! We understand that marketing and fundraising can be difficult. Fundraising is certainly not something you learn in school. We can help you break through these barriers so that you can launch your vision, increase your impact, and fund your mission.
“Patrick gave our organization an opportunity to think broadly about how we are communicating with people on all levels – through email, mail, in person, social media, and our website – by evaluating communication strategies that are tied into our fundraising platforms and thinking through how to communicate with people most effectively.”
Angela Bomgaars, Executive Director, Extreme Community Makeover
YOUR STORY MATTERS
You can create campaigns that use video, print, digital, social media and events to build a following, educate the public, and deliver experiences that will inspire a community to support your cause.
“Patrick helped us develop a robust marketing and fundraising strategy, getting us to a place where we have been able to secure financial stability by creating a diverse stream of funding sources.”

Services
KAVANA Creative delivers capacity building and engagement strategies that extend the reach of a product, service, program or campaign. This is done by taking creative ideas and driving them through thoughtful common sense strategies.
Capacity Building
We work to improve and enhance an organization’s ability to achieve its mission and sustain itself over time. When capacity building is successful, it strengthens an organization’s ability to have a significant, positive impact on lives and communities.
Marketing
We help build a following and create an engagement strategy to connect people to your cause, so you can enhance your volunteer base and invite the community to be constituents. We provide a big picture perspective and put creative ideas into strategic action. We love developing partnerships, events, campaigns, and strengthening brands.
Fundraising
Fundraising is critical to the life of an organization but it is rarely easy to pull off. We deliver experiences that inspire the community, engage constituents, and raise money for your cause.
“Patrick helped us transition to a new email platform, and created a new mobile friendly website, both of which were polished and professional representations of our organization that help us communicate the work we do with volunteers, donors, and our community.”
Angela Bomgaars, Executive Director, Extreme Community Makeover
FIVE KEYS TO RAISING MORE MONEY
WATCH RHONDA’S STORY FROM DESPAIR TO HOPE
“It was like a reason to live. It was a flourishing time in my life. I just felt good about myself. I just felt a sense of belonging…”
Rhonda’s story was the beginning of Denver’s second tiny home village for those experiencing homelessness.
“The campaign that we built, under Patrick’s leadership, highlighted themes that emerged directly from the words and experiences of villagers of the previous tiny home village. Our constituency then responded to the message by launching their own fundraisers that would go towards our funding goals. Patrick’s work is thoughtful, creative, and crisp. He communicates messages clearly through multiple mediums in a way that connects with human beings.”
