ᑲᐧᔭᐢᐠ — Kwayask
A Plains Cree word meaning in a good way, correctly, straight, fairly. It's not just our name — it's how we hold every relationship with the organizations and communities we work alongside.
Kwayask Consulting is an Indigenous-led consultancy supporting Indigenous organizations, Tribal Councils, First Nations, Indigenous-owned companies, nonprofits, and charities across Canada — through registration, grant writing, funder relationship building, and fund development.
Between us, we've built organizations from scratch and grown two of them into seven-figure charities. We bring that lived experience to every file, along with the technical expertise.
Every engagement starts with your mission and your community's priorities, and every deliverable is built to outlast us: systems and relationships your organization owns long after our work is done.
Vanessa has founded four organizations from the ground up. One of them, Low Entropy Foundation, grew into a seven-figure charity under her leadership. She has spent more than a decade in the nonprofit sector and sits on several boards, including the Community Action Initiative. In 2026 she was named a YWCA Woman of Distinction in the Community Champion category.
Maverick brings more than 15 years of frontline leadership as a Fire Captain to his work in grant writing, business planning, nonprofit incorporation, and governance. He's helped clients secure funding from federal, provincial, Indigenous, corporate, and philanthropic sources across Canada — building the funding strategies, business plans, and organizational foundations that let communities grow past their first grant. His background in emergency management, FireSmart, and workforce development gives him a practical, on-the-ground read on what communities actually need to build capacity and turn ideas into lasting impact.
