Collaborating With Indigenous Communities, Artists and Entrepreneurs
White Otter Consulting was founded in 2023 by Jaymie Campbell. After a culmination of 15 years of working in community development, being an artist and entrepreneur, the goal of starting WOC was to build a team of Indigenous community leaders, artists and land-based practitioners to provide services that hold culture and community at the forefront. We are driven by the desire to support artists and community-led ventures to navigate colonial systems so they can focus on making art, building community and supporting their families.

Who We Work With
We work primarily with Indigenous artists, small businesses and communities. Our goal is to provide grant writing, organizational development and capacity-building support to reduce traditional barriers such as access, capacity and capital.
Our grant writers and advisors are also community members, artists and harvesters themselves and that is what makes us unique. We strive to ensure your voice is captured accurately and in culturally appropriate ways.
Each member of our team is not only skilled professionals but also a valued community member, artists and/or land-based practitioner in their own right. This unique blend of roles and experiences allows us to approach our work with a level of understanding and empathy that goes beyond traditional consultancy services. We are not just helping organizations secure funding; we are actively invested in the well-being and success of our communities. By combining our professional expertise with our personal connections and passions, we are able to offer a holistic and authentic approach and connection to the communities we serve.
