Headwaters Foundation for Justice

Theres a reason people are passionate about social change. Its because we know that if we can remove the root causes of injustice  the things that create poverty and discrimination and inequality  we can change the human condition, replacing desperation with opportunity, despair with hope. Thats the big picture.

The small detail is that injustice often is invisible. It takes a lot of dedicated people and groups seeing it for what it is and working where injustice thrives in order to make big change possible.

This change is happening. Our two-decades of work  and, more importantly, the work of the tireless groups we fund  has had a measurable effect. Click on our issue areas above, and youll see it for yourself.

Our role is right in the middle, between the big picture and the small details, making sure we fund the fight well, connecting those with means with those on the front lines of change, and training grassroots organizations so their roots reach even deeper and wider.

Our mission  our passion  is to continue to be a catalyst for social, racial, economic and environmental justice. And wed like you to join us.
