Community -
The 2022 Giving Project came to an exciting close earlier this month. Thanks to the work of the 20 community members in the cohort, Headwaters has invested in 17 BIPOC-led organizations fighting for justice in our region. All 17 organizations were awarded 2-year grants totaling $30,000 in unrestricted, general operating funds.
This year, cohort participants raised over $236,000 through individual fundraising conversations with their community. Combined with a contribution from Headwaters, Giving Project grants moved $510,000 to organizations building power throughout the region.
The 2022 Giving Project Grantees are:

Each of these grantees is fighting for collective liberation throughout the region. Through diverse strategies, these organizations are building towards their visions of a more just, equitable future.
This year’s grants were made possible by the cohort participants’ hard work, bold asks, and principled engagement in collective process. Join us in celebrating the 2022 Giving Project participants:
