A new year's greeting from HFJ
As another year starts, we are eager to connect with you, our community. We hope these first days of 2024 have offered opportunities for joy and reflection as we settle into the start of another year.&nbsp;At Headwaters, we are looking towards our 40th year with anticipation, determination, and deep gratitude for our community, each other, and our transformative shared work towards liberation.
We hope you will keep an eye out for our opportunities later this year to celebrate 40 years of Headwaters! In the meantime, we hope you find moments of connection and growth that sustain and inspire you. We are glad you are here with us.

Land, healing, and renewal
While the land that sustains us takes a rest this winter season, we thought it might be a good time to
highlight the work of several grantee partners<[link removed]> who are stewarding plots of earth and human connection. Hear from Mary Delori&eacute;, our Director of Individual Giving about some Minnesota organizations doing this work. Guided by the leadership of Black, Indigenous, people of color (BIPOC), women, and queer people, these co-ops and organizations are creating intentional space for growth, healing, art, and renewal - the possibilities are endless!&nbsp;
