The Dig Deep Right to Water Project is a WASH (water, sanitation, and hygiene) organization committed to closing the water access gap for the 2 million + people in the U.S. who still don’t have a tap or a toilet at home.

Dig Deep 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. Dig Deep 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 for 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. Dig Deep 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.

Dig Deep is looking for a collaborative, organized, and motivated person to join our growing Operations team as the Finance Coordinator. Reporting to the Senior Manager, Finance & Operations, the Coordinator will support finance functions at Dig Deep, including, but not limited to: providing administrative support to Senior Manager, Finance & Operations and the Operations team; maintaining Dig Deep’s general ledger and recording daily transactions, deposits and income;

assisting with reimbursement processes for staff; supporting month-end and year-end closing processes; and coordinating and tracking weekly check deposits for Development team. This position will support Dig Deep’s mission by working to ensure the smooth operations of our critical finance functions. The work is detail-oriented and requires flexibility, time management, innovation, a discerning-eye, and efficiency.
