Meet the Latest Community Innovation Grant Program Recipients

We awarded $ 130,000 to 13 organizations through our Community Innovation Grant program. The one-year, project-based grants rare made possible by an ongoing partnership with the Bush Foundation.

The investments will help Minnesota communities find more effective, equitable, and sustainable solutions to challenges and opportunities. “I’m always struck by the range of work that Community Innovation grantees do, and am equally proud to see these people-driven investments go where they’re needed,” said David Nicholson, Headwaters Foundation Executive Director.

The 13 Community Innovation Grant recipients (and the cities they are headquartered in) are:





Black Visions Collective



Minneapolis





Dream of Wild Health
