Wayne Ducheneaux knows a seat at the table is not enough&nbsp;
In our latest installment of Donor Stories,&nbsp;we are excited to introduce you to Headwaters donor, Giving Project alum, and grantee partner,
Wayne Ducheneaux II<[link removed]>.&nbsp;
Wayne is the Executive Director of Native Governance Center, and a powerful partner&nbsp;for Native leaders building power in their communities and reservations. &nbsp;
In his story, Wayne shares how he got to know Headwaters as a grantee, how he&rsquo;s woven lessons learned from the Giving Project into his work at Native Governance Center, and how Headwaters&rsquo; community-based philanthropy has inspired him to boldly expect more from other funders.&nbsp;
We are honored to be in community with Wayne! &nbsp;

Our&nbsp;fiscal year-end approaches&nbsp;
We're witnessing new growth at Headwaters. Bilal Alkatout has been named Interim Executive Director for the coming year. We've made new hires to strengthen team capacity. And we have a healthy financial base to continue our work of funding grassroots movement organizations in our region that are doing crucial work to advance equity and justice.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Headwaters was established to change the way philanthropy works by putting community at the center. Next year we&rsquo;ll celebrate our 40th Anniversary. Today, we continue to explore building new ways of being together in this world. And with your support, the groups we fund are leading the way.&nbsp;
As we close our fiscal year on June 30, we invite you to continue your commitment to Headwaters and our grantee partners. &nbsp;

Make a year-end gift today!<[link removed]>&nbsp;
