Introducing Grantee Stories: Freedom from the Streets
Today we are excited to launch Headwaters’ newest storytelling project:
Grantee Stories.<[link removed]>
Headwaters' grantee community is made up of powerful organizers working across the state to build power in communities using a diverse range of strategies. Each of these organizations has a unique and powerful story to tell about their work and how it moves Minnesota closer to liberation.
As part of the project, you’ll find the stories - told in our grantees' own words - of the work happening everyday in our communities to advance equity, transform power, and demand inclusion and justice for all Minnesotans.
Our
first Grantee Story features the story of Freedom from the Streets<[link removed]>, as told by Executive Director Junail Anderson.
Freedom from the Streets<[link removed]> was founded in 2019 to support and build power with people who are homeless, formerly homeless, or on the verge of homelessness. Its core leaders and staff have all experienced homelessness and work to listen to and support community members experiencing homelessness to find resources and solutions – both through direct service and policy work.
We hope you’ll take the time to get to know Freedom from the Streets and Junail’s work, in her own words.

The Wellspring Fund is accepting applications
The Wellspring Fund<[link removed]> is Headwaters’ newest grantmaking fund, and it is open for applications until July 18!
Wellspring Fund grants are 4-year, project-based grants that support BIPOC-led organizations working towards strengthening the ecosystem of social justice movements in Minnesota. These grants aim to deeply nourish organizations and coalitions that are driving innovative, impactful work for change.
Grants will provide organizations with meaningful, multi-year support through project-based funds of $90,000 per year, for a total of $360,000 per grant.
For years, we’ve had the goal of offering longer grant terms and larger grant sizes after hearing the need from our grantee community. We are excited that Wellspring Fund is one way Headwaters is responding to that need.
We encourage interested organizations to
register for our upcoming virtual information session on June 21 at 6 pm<[link removed]>. Can’t make it? Check out the recording of our first Wellspring Fund info session on our website - coming soon!
We are pleased to partner with The Bush Foundation as a community grantmaking partner to bring this newest fund to community.

Land Rush to Land Back: Legacies of Allotment and Indigenous Resistanc<[link removed]>e
Wednesday, June 21, 2023 at 12:00 p.m.
Many Native nations control just a small percentage of their original land base. Rather than Tribal governments and individual Tribal citizens stewarding and carrying out their vision for the land, we instead see big ag, vacation home owners, the United States Forest Service, and others making decisions. How did this happen?
The United States Government stole more than 90 million acres of Indigenous land during the Allotment Era. In Land Rush to Land Back, we’ll examine allotment’s history and modern-day implications for Native nations. We’ll also highlight ongoing Indigenous resistance and the strategies Native nations are using to fight back.
