Dear John,

As we close out this milestone year, we want to thank you for being part of Headwaters Foundation for Justice’s 40th anniversary celebrations. 

Since 1984, Headwaters has stayed on the radical edge of philanthropy, prioritizing community and relationships, resourcing movements often excluded by traditional funding, and reimagining how philanthropy can fuel collective liberation in Minnesota. 

Here’s how we celebrated this year: 

  • We shared insights and reflections through our 40th Anniversary Blog Series. We wanted to share why this work is meaningful to us – both as staff and as people who have a stake in collective liberation just as much as anyone else. You’ll find four perspectives highlighted, each a love letter to the work of donor organizing, philanthropic organizing, community-led grantmaking, and narrative organizing.  

  • We pulled together 40 Calls to Action for the action-oriented person who might feel inspired to expand on their own learning and impact. We hope that you’ll feel inspired by something that feels actionable to you! 

  • We gathered with our incredible community at two celebratory events, sharing memories and building deeper connections. Our 40th-anniversary celebrations honored the community that has fueled four decades of advancing equity and justice in Minnesota while looking ahead to building collective power for the future. 

Our new webpage brings together all our 40th anniversary content that you can now access here! 

We invite you to poke around, read it section by section, save it for your nighttime scrolling - however you’d like to take in innovative perspectives on our fight for a more just Minnesota.  

This milestone is only the beginning. All of us have a role in fighting for equity and justice Let’s continue building power together. Thank you for being part of our journey. Together, we’re laying the foundation for the next 40 years of transformative change. 

In Solidarity, 

Headwaters Foundation for Justice
