Good times at the Donor & Partners Appreciation Party

We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who came to our Donor & Community Partners Appreciation Party this year! This annual event is so important to us because we couldn't do this work without all of you. Did you miss this year's? Would you like an invitation to next year's? Everyone who donates to Headwaters gets an invite! We'll try to have something even cooler than swan boats next year!

Get to know Eemanna and Angela by visiting their bio pages. And make sure to say hi the next time you see them!
Our Board is growing

In addition to growing our staff, we recently added three awesome people to our Board of Directors!

Community jobs and events return next month! Each month, we share job opportunities and events from the Headwaters grantee community. This month, we are taking a one-month break from sharing that content, as Headwaters observes a July break for staff rest and rejuvenation. Jobs and events will return in our August e-newsletter!
