Storytelling for a more just world
At Headwaters, we know the power of storytelling - sharing a vision of a better, more just world is the foundation of our work. It's the core of our mission, and it's what drives many of our grantees' work toward collective liberation.
Headwaters is the story of a new vision for philanthropy. So, we are committed to listening to our community, sharing their stories, and building a robust vision of what a more just world looks like today, in our movements for justice.
If you haven’t already, we invite you to explore our Donor Stories and Grantee Stories projects, where we highlight the powerful donors and organizers who are part of the Headwaters community.
We hope that, by reading and sharing these stories, you take away a bit about HFJ's vision, how we do our work, and how our incredible donors and grantees are building power every day.
Applications closing soon: Communications Manager and Grants Manager
Headwaters is hiring for two positions, and applications close tomorrow at 5 p.m.
The Communications Manager coordinates and supports Headwaters’ communications objectives, primarily in the areas of digital media management and project management. The Grants Manager plays a crucial role in managing grantmaking processes, ensuring effective and efficient grant administration.
