Funder intelligence
Headwaters Foundation for Justice maintains a strong commitment to supporting grassroots organizations and community-led initiatives focused on racial, social, and economic justice. Their giving is primarily restricted to Minnesota, with a preference for organizations led by and serving marginalized communities. They prioritize funding for movement building and systemic change rather than direct service.
Headwaters Foundation for Justice typically accepts unsolicited proposals through specific funding cycles, often requiring an initial application or Letter of Inquiry (LOI) to gauge alignment with their social justice priorities. Relationship-building is often encouraged for long-term partnerships.
