Over the past six months, Headwaters staff have worked closely with community members to identify four organizations doing exceptional and innovative work towards justice in Minnesota. 

Today, we are proud to announce the 2023 Bush Prize: Minnesota winners. 

This year’s four Bush Prize: Minnesota winners are organizations that are highly valued within their communities and have a track record of successful community problem solving. Each winner will receive a flexible, 2-year grant of up to 25% of the organization’s last fiscal year expenses. Bush Prize: Minnesota winners will receive a total of $445,000 in general operating grants to deeply support their ongoing work to advance equity and justice.
