The Team

Tia Cavender
Chief Executive Officer
The founder of Dig Deep, Tia takes the lead in strategically structuring municipal projects and then matching them with capital funding sources. Known as “the master cultivator,” she is tireless both in her thoughtful structuring of each project and in searching for long-term solutions that meet the needs of everyone at the table. A national expert with 20 years experience in capital grant seeking, Tia holds two master’s degrees from the University of Colorado (Industrial/Organizational Psychology and Clinical Psychology). Fueled by a relentless drive, Tia is devoted to social justice, environmental sustainability, and quite a few other things that aren’t even remotely serious. She always finds time to cheer on her kids’ athletic and artistic pursuits.
