We’re excited to launch Blueprints for Change - our new blog series that takes you behind the scenes of Headwaters’ journey to transform our internal structure, policies, and key practices!
👉 READ THE FIRST INSTALLMENT HERE
Since 2022, we’ve reimagined how HFJ operates - from leadership structure to pay. We’ve heard from our community of donors, partners, and grantees that they want to know more about the changes we’ve made.
This new series is our way of sharing what we’ve learned, what we’re still figuring out, and the tools we’ve built along the way. Over the next year we’ll share:
- Blog posts digging into each of our three major organization transformation projects of shared leadership, collective decision-making, and pay equity
- Takeaways from our work and questions we’re still chewing on.
- Resources including a decision-making guide, pay structure model, and benefits policy model
- Concrete ideas about how your organization, collective, or formation can begin to implement changes to align your culture and work with your values
In this increasingly fraught political landscape, we know many organizations are facing hard questions about how to work in ways that are sustainable, values-aligned, and responsive. We hope these stories spark ideas, affirm your path, and offer practical support as we work to build more resilient, liberatory institutions to guide our movements through troubled times.
Our first installment – out today – shares how our journey to transformation started, and how your team can begin making changes too.
In community,
Headwaters Foundation for Justice
