Our journey began in 2010 when we began serving in a number roles within the nonprofit sector, primarily in program management and development and fundraising. Through the years, we both encountered the common struggle of relying on expensive vendors for essential services like web development and IT support, design, videography and event photography. Although these services were vital in supporting our own storytelling and fundraising, we also had to work within small budgets and tight timelines. Fueled by a determination to maximize resources and drive impact, we rolled up our sleeves and started mastering these skills ourselves.

Fast forward to today, our expertise and experience honed through years of wearing multiple hats led us to establish Cause Creative in response to the prevalent need for a comprehensive and affordable solution for nonprofits. In 2016, we took on pivotal roles at Serving Orphans Worldwide, a global charity, where we actively serve as Development Director and Communications Manager today. These roles have afforded us  firsthand insight into the joys and challenges nonprofit leaders and fundraising professionals navigate daily.

At Cause Creative, we’ve assembled a dedicated team ready to support organizations like yours in overcoming obstacles and achieving their goals in the digital and creative space. With a deep-rooted understanding of the sector and a commitment to excellence, we stand ready to partner with you in creating meaningful and lasting impact.
