Deadline: 18-Feb-21
The Headwaters Foundation for Justice is seeking applications for the Giving Project Grant Program to support organizations that are led by and for Black people, Indigenous people, and people of color (BIPOC) that also use a community organizing approach to address root causes of injustice.
Giving Project grants provide general operating support to organizations led by and for BIPOC that lead grassroots organizing work across Minnesota.
Headwaters Foundation for Justice (HFJ) believes that people who are closest to injustice have the wisdom and power to transform society. Giving Project Grants support organizations that prioritize community organizing as the core strategy to engage and build power in their communities in order to change systems and advance equity and justice.
