Coming Soon: 2021 Giving Project
The Giving Project brings a multiracial, cross-class group of people together each year to participate in Headwaters community-centered grantmaking process. As a member of the cohort, you’ll deepen your analysis around race, class, money and movements. Collectively, you’ll raise and give out money to movement organizations that support significant, long-term solutions for justice and equity across the state.
The 2021 Giving Project cohort will be an online, virtual experience from January to June 2021.
We’re looking for 20 people to be part of this year’s group who are ready to dig in digitally and raise resources in their networks for BIPOC-led organizations advancing justice in Minnesota.
Ready to apply? We’ll launch the details in mid-October. Look for info session and application details in October’s e-news and on our website <[link removed]>.
