Because your mission lives online.
At GVRN, we believe that strong digital platforms make stronger organizations. We help mission-driven teams focus more on people and purpose, and less on maintenance and overwhelm.
Our work bridges strategy and stewardship. We meet organizations where they are, evaluate how their digital presence supports their mission, and help them build the capacity to sustain meaningful, measurable progress.
We don’t design websites. We strengthen the systems, content, and practices that make them work—turning chaos into clarity, and maintenance into mission support.
Work that matters.
When digital systems are clear, accessible, and well cared for, people have more time to do what they came here to do: teach, serve, innovate, and make change.
That’s the work we’re here to protect—and the reason GVRN exists.
Shelley Keith-Panulla, Founder
I'm Shelley Keith-Panulla, a passionate leader in digital strategy and governance with over 25 years of experience guiding mission-driven organizations through the intricacies of web ecosystems.
I launched GVRN to support teams like those I've led—dedicated, stretched thin, and striving to achieve impactful work despite limited resources—by providing clarity and confidence in their digital operations.
My career spans higher education, public administration, and corporate sectors, but my focus remains constant: designing systems that prioritize people.
Through GVRN, I bring the same dedication and practicality to public-good organizations shaping our future—because your mission thrives online.
Our Mission
Help public-good organizations build sustainable digital practices that reflect their values, strengthen their capacity, and amplify their impact.
