Dear John,

Today, we are excited to kick off our celebration of Headwaters’ 40th anniversary! Since 1984, Headwaters has been at the radical edge of philanthropy, boldly funding grassroots organizations that fight for justice in Minnesota. We are thrilled to invite you to join us in celebrating 40 years of Headwaters Foundation for Justice – starting today! 

🎉 Join us for 40 Years of Resourcing Change: Reflections and Future Visions for Minnesota Movements on September 30, 2024, from 5:30 to 8:00 PM at MLX. 

This milestone is more than just a celebration; it’s an opportunity to ground in our shared community, history, and vision for a just Minnesota. 

The evening will feature an engaging grantee panel that reflects on the past 40 years of Headwaters and movement history while looking forward to the next 40 years of fighting for collective liberation, power, and justice.   

You’ll also have the chance to connect with other HFJ community members, enjoy delicious food and drink, and experience live art that captures our movement’s spirit. You'll also be able to learn about Headwaters' legacy and impact over the past four decades. 

Space is limited, so register today to be part of the celebration. We can't wait to see you there! 

💝 “The Act of Giving is a Relationship: Donor Organizing as a justice-driven framework 

It seems right to kick off our 40th anniversary by diving into our unique model of donor organizing. Head on over to our latest blog post by our Director of Individual Giving, Mary Delorié, who explains one of the core throughlines of our work – from 1984 to today. 

As we celebrate 40 years of Headwaters, we are sharing the ins and outs of how we do our work in 4 heartfelt installments. We’d also like to invite you to take action in your own way. With each blog, we will be sharing a list of “calls to action” that are actionable for you whether you are new to our work, someone working in philanthropy, a passive scroller, or someone who knows our work even better than we know ourselves!  

Read Mary's blog!

Whether you’re a long-time supporter or new to our community, we hope you’ll join us to honor the past, celebrate the present, and dream together for the next 40 years of work towards collective liberation. And stay tuned for more voices and gatherings through the end of the year. Rumor has it, we’ll be ending the year with a birthday cake…! 

In celebration, 

All of us at Headwaters
