If you're looking for a transformative program taking a hands-on approach to moving money to Minnesota's BIPOC-led movement organizations, apply to the Giving Project! Since 2015, our Giving Project has trained 8 cohorts of community grantmakers, funded 97 Minnesota-based organizations, and moved nearly $1.7 million dollars to movements leading the way to collective liberation. This year's program will focus on funding work that seeks to confront gender-based oppression, including patriarchy, transphobia, and homophobia, and to create a world free from misogyny.

BIPOC-led organizing updates from Fargo-Moorhead
In March, our staff made an early morning drive to visit the Fargo-Moorhead area. Of course, this drive is one that organizers in Fargo-Moorhead regularly make when they are advocating at the Capitol (it’s a long way, folks). Check out our team's latest blog post to read some takeaways. Minnesota is a state of richness and complexity - we hope you'll take the time to learn about the strong and growing organizing in Fargo-Moorhead!

Turning up your commitment to justice
Turn up your voice, strength, and power for liberation – as an individual, community, and society! At a time of increasing cuts to DEI programs, unchecked policing, and an upcoming contentious election, it’s vital to fight against the oppressive systems working to quiet our voices and constrict our rights and freedoms. You can help make a difference for our grassroots grantee partners who are working to sustainably build power in their communities.
Turn up your kindness, gratitude, and commitment to justice by staying in community with us. Please make a meaningful gift by our fiscal year end on June 30 by donating securely online at headwatersfoundation.org/give. Your community will thank you!
