The African American Leadership Forum has released a white paper on the five (5) critical areas (The "5 Gaps") that contribute to the achievement gap for African American children in Minnesota.

We are proud, and humbled, to announce that Headwaters Foundation for Justice has been awarded the 2011 Responsive Philanthropy Award through the Minnesota Nonprofit Excellence and Mission Awards.

The Headwaters Foundation for Justice is proud to announce that it has joined with more than 60 Foundations from across the country in signing Philanthropy's Promise, a pledge to channel a majority of foundation grant money to communities with the greatest need and to advocacy efforts and projects that encourage citizens to get involved in their communities.

Rather than trying to influence merely the symptoms of injustice, Headwaters awards grants to organizations that address issues at their core. By connecting groups on the front lines of change with funding and resources, Headwaters is helping grassroots organizations spread their roots deeper and wider.
