Dear John,
Headwaters is proud to celebrate
this year's Wellspring Fund grantees and grantmakers.<[link removed]> The Wellspring Fund supports multi-year projects and campaigns within BIPOC-led organizations actively working towards strengthening the ecosystem of social justice movements in Minnesota.
“Being able to deeply resource these powerful organizations for four years is so meaningful for HFJ – this is what trust-based funding looks like,” says Interim Executive Director Bilal Alkatout, “These organizations are running complex, evolving programs and campaigns in their communities throughout Minnesota. They are making significant impacts on the broad, interconnected fights for justice and we are here to stand with them.”
The 2023 Wellspring Fund, stewarded by a group of 7 community grantmakers, moved over $1.4 million to ecosystem-strengthening organizing throughout Minnesota. Each grantee partner received a four-year grant of $360,000 to support a multi-year strategic campaign or project.
The 2023 Wellspring Fund grantees are:
Centro de Trabajadores Unidos en la Lucha<[link removed]>
Dream of Wild Health<[link removed]>
Greater Minnesota Worker Center<[link removed]>
InquilinXs UnidXs Por Justicia<[link removed]>
Each of these organizations is using innovative and effective approaches to build community power and advocate for social change in Minnesota. Through their work, they are strengthening the ecosystem of social justice movements in Minnesota.
The Wellspring Fund is unique in Headwaters’ slate of grantmaking funds in its scope and scale. Not only is the grant amount the largest ever offered by Headwaters at $90,000 per year, but it is also the longest grant term at four years. This significant and steady investment from Headwaters will allow these organizations to continue their steadfast work in their communities and movement ecosystems to advance equity and justice throughout Minnesota.
