DigDeep believes access to clean water is a human right. We run several nationally recognized programs that empower communities to build their own water and sanitation systems. We won the 2018 US Water Prize for our Navajo Water Project, which has brought clean, running water to hundreds of Native families across New Mexico, Arizona, and Utah. DigDeep launched the Appalachia Water Project in 2020, in McDowell County, WV. It has since brought clean, sustainable running water to hundreds of families in Southern West Virginia through public \- private partnerships with the McDowell County PSD and East Logan PSD in Wyoming County. In addition to clean running water, the project is installing septic systems and connecting households to centralized sewer. The AWP is now expanding into neighboring states of Kentucky and Virginia to continue its quest of clean water for every Appalachian family. Our water projects expanded in 2022 when we launched our Colonias Water Project. This project works to bring clean, running water to the residents living in communities along the Texas\-Mexico border. The Texas *colonias* are largely unincorporated, low\-income communities that fall just outside city limits and often lack basic infrastructure. Our work began in Cochran *colonia* near El Paso. DigDeep partnered with residents, housing nonprofits, and county officials to innovate a new model for public\-private\-partnership that brings these basic services to families for the first time. Now we're getting the water flowing in 5 more communities. **The Opportunity** DigDeep is looking for a collaborative, organized, and detail\-oriented person to join our **Development team** as the **Manager, Grants**.
