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.
We do this through grantmaking programs that support organizations and groups on the front lines of social change. Each of our programs invites community members to learn about and lead the foundation's grantmaking work. Since 1984, Headwaters has believed that those who directly experience society’s injustices are the ones who know the path to collective liberation. We prioritize work led by and for Black people, Indigenous people, and people of color through our four core values of advancing equity, demanding inclusion, transforming power, and trusting in community.
