The Giving Project's Ramp-up to Relaunch
You may have heard of the Headwaters Giving Project, but did you know that there are 9 community funds across the U.S. running their own unique Giving Projects? Our team recently had the opportunity to visit our friends at the
Crossroads Fund in Chicago<[link removed]>, and the
Bread & Roses Community Fund in Philadelphia<[link removed]>.
The Headwaters Giving Project team shadowed different training sessions in preparation for our own upcoming Giving Project. At Bread & Roses Community Fund, they sat in on a two-day political education workshop where the cohort reflected on their personal and historical relationships with race & class. During their visit to Crossroads Fund, they experienced the power of the Meaningful Gift Ceremony, where cohort members explored their relationship to money & class and committed to making a bold and meaningful personal gift to the Giving Project.
Now our team is back, revived, and inspired for our very own Minnesota-based Giving Project. And you won't have to wait for long... cohort applications will be opening on Wednesday, May 1st!

Shoutout to the Native Community Grantmaking Circle
Meet our current Native Community Grantmaking Circle! Since 1999, this Circle has included Native community members from diverse Native Nations and communities, coming together to make grantmaking decisions for the Fund of the Sacred Circle (FSC). Our current Grantmaking Circle recently convened at the Owámni Restaurant to finalize some big grant-making decisions, and are pictured here near Owámniyomni (Turbalent Waters), a river that holds deep cultural and historical significance for the Dakota people.
We are excited to celebrate the ongoing work of these community grantmakers and to announce our FSC grantee partners later this year. Thank you to the Native Community Grantmaking Circle: Brittenany Gillespie, Liberty Greene, Hieu Nguyen, Micah Prairie Chicken, Kelsey Scares The Hawk, Whitney Spears

Reimagining our Black Movement Ecosystem
Last month, we were able to reconvene with Black Movement Ecosystem (BME) Fellows and Leadership Table Members at the Headwaters office. As we work towards relaunching Headwaters' BME fund and network, our Program Team is taking the time to reimagine the future of this work by brainstorming with our community.
Thank you to our friends for joining our work towards rebuilding our BME work. We're feeling energized for the future of what we're building! As we continue to build, we'll be sharing more details on how you can join us.
