Headwaters Foundation for Justice is a Minneapolis-based community foundation that invests in grassroots organizing across Minnesota.
Our mission is to amplify the power of community to advance equity and justice.
At Headwaters, we use the power of relationships to raise and move money, supporting action that leads to change:
- Our network of donors gives at all levels, and we build relationships with them because we know that moving money is a part of movement work
- Philanthropy can do a better job, so we use our position as a community foundation to push putting decision-making and money into community hands
- We center the work of Black people, Indigenous people, and people of color because we know this work is underfunded and underestimated
- Collective decision-making builds democracy, so we champion community-led grantmaking in our own funds and to other grantmaking organizations
