In Solidarity,

Take a break, hear from our people!
In honor of our 40th year, we worked with Line Break Media to produce videos showcasing who we are as Headwaters. We are excited to highlight the many faces and voices that helped tell this story. From grantee partners to new board members, everyone has a different reason to believe in resourcing movements. It's a joyful video full of reflection and hope as we look to what else is possible when we work together!

Reflections from a Community Grantmaker, Alfred!
Ever wondered what it's like to be a community grantmaker? As part of our series for our 40th anniversary, Alfred Walking Bull shares their perspective on how philanthropy is Indigenous, what solidarity looks like in practice, and how it all connects to community-led grantmaking:
"Growing up in the Rosebud Sioux Tribe in South Dakota, I learned that generosity must be the first of our core values. Both at home and in school, I was reminded that of the other three values of bravery, fortitude, and wisdom, none are possible without a generous spirit."
