We Are DigDeep
The DigDeep Right to Water Project is the only WaSH (water, sanitation and hygiene) organization serving the 2.2 million Americans who still don’t have a tap or a toilet at home.
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 July of 2020, which brings clean, running water into the homes of Appalachia families, starting in southern West Virginia. The project has already brought safe water to hundreds of homes through our innovative hydropanel project and a public-private partnership with the McDowell County Public Service District which is helping families connect to new water lines.
DigDeep is deeply committed to diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging. We believe social change happens when people with a wide range of backgrounds, experiences, and identities come together with a common purpose. DigDeep is built on the principles of equity, transparency, and the power of human experience. Your work will improve the daily lives of real people – people you’re likely to meet. Every American should have the clean, running water they need to thrive. Join us, and we’ll close the US water gap in our lifetimes.
The Opportunity
DigDeep is seeking a highly motivated and experienced Donor Relations Manager (DRM) to join an energetic and collaborative development team during an exciting time of growth. Reporting to the Director of Development, the Donor Relations Manager is responsible for supporting DigDeep’s relationship management, engagement, and communication strategies with our donors and prospects, including major donors, institutional partners (such as Rotary, corporate and foundation funders), and religious organizations. The DRM is responsible for writing compelling proposals, donor reports, and other materials that inspire investment and deepen engagement from current and prospective funders, securing five- and six-figure gifts.
Collaborating closely with other development team members, communications staff, contractors, and program team members the DRM will support short- and long-term plans for donor retention, diversification of revenue streams, and identification of new funding opportunities with a focus on strengthening the organization’s pipeline of donors for the next five years. The ideal candidate will be adept at thinking strategically, be an effective plan implementer, engaging storyteller, a quick learner, and problem solver, and will demonstrate extreme attention to detail with a deep commitment to water as a human right.
