How To Support Our Work

Make A Contribution

All the money raised by our Drawing Wisdom Films For Dialogue event will be put into the development of curricula led by our Podcast host and Founder Jada-Gabrielle Pape, WuWas Ulwat, of the Snuneymuxw and Saanich Nations. We are looking to raise $10,000  to support the development of Indigenous-led curricula to address the many issues we face with colonialism as their root cause.

Hire us

We are available to do film production and a full range of creative services. By hiring us for your project you directly support the Drawing Wisdom ‘big picture’ and support our principles of reciprocal ownership over what we co-create.

Become an ally or partner

This could mean being listed on our website as a supporter/ally, or you could actively support us in applying for funding to flow-through for the work we are doing.

“Drawing Wisdom furthers a culturally relevant and safe approach to creative wellbeing projects. Putting cultural safety first, means witnessing, honouring and sharing the pride that comes from traditional ways of knowing.”
