An update from Directors
In December, we promised to share updates as our team continues to work diligently on co-creating Headwaters’ next chapter. As we settle into the new year, we’re excited to share some additional updates with you!
We came together last month for an all-staff retreat to continue planning and strategizing about our organizational structure and shared-decision making frameworks. We left the three-day retreat feeling deeply energized, and while there is still work to be done, we got clarity on how we want to move our innovating work forward.

Honoring Black History Month at Headwaters
As a community foundation that holds Black liberation as one of our guiding principles, we join community in celebrating the history, present, and future of Black life, power, and movements for justice in our communities. During this Black History Month, we look towards liberated Black futures, guided by community.
We are also holding this month's celebration alongside grief and anger, as we once again witness the murder of Black folks at the hands of police. We stand in solidarity with communities demanding justice for Keenan Anderson and Tyre Nichols. We know that a future where Black communities are free from state violence is possible and on its way. We are proud to support Black-led organizing throughout Minnesota that moves us closer to a future of justice, healing, and freedom.
Join us in finding ways to center and honor Black joy, life, and liberation with us – both during this Black History Month, and every day. In solidarity, celebration, and reverence.
