Dear John,
Today we are excited to announce that the
<[link removed]>
2024-25 Giving Project cohort moved half a million dollars for BIPOC-led organizations fighting for gender justice in our region. <[link removed]>&nbsp;
Thanks to the dedication of the 20 community members in this year&rsquo;s cohort, Headwaters is resourcing 12 organizations across the region building power to end patriarchy, transphobia, and homophobia, and to create a world free from misogyny.&nbsp;
&ldquo;In choosing gender justice as a theme for this year&rsquo;s Giving Project, we were doubling down on what we already knew to be true: that there is no collective liberation without gender justice,&rdquo; says Headwaters&rsquo; Giving Project Program Manager, Sierra Judy.&nbsp;
This year, cohort participants raised over $250,000 from their communities through grassroots donor organizing. Combined with a matching contribution from Headwaters, the 2025 Giving Project will provide each organization with a two-year, unrestricted grant totaling $40,000 &ndash; totaling $500,000 in grants.&nbsp;
&ldquo;At a time when the right is positioning gender self-determination as a political wedge issue and many supposedly progressive institutions are shying away from full-throated support of gender justice, this cohort stepped up&rdquo; says&nbsp; Headwaters&rsquo; Co-Executive Director Bilal Alkatout, &ldquo;Headwaters is proud to reinforce organizing throughout Minnesota that advances gender-justice, thanks to this cohort&rsquo;s fierce donor organizing.&rdquo;&nbsp;
