George McGraw (born October 23, 1986) is the founder and current CEO of the non-profit DigDeep. [1] He also serves as Vice President of the Board of Water and Power Commissioners for the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power. [2] McGraw is co-author of the first national report on water and sanitation access Closing the Water Access Gap in the United States. [3] [4]
McGraw founded the nonprofit WASH organization DigDeep in 2011 to improve access to water and sanitation in rural South Sudan and Cameroon. [5] [6]
McGraw shifted DigDeep's focus to the United States in 2013 with the founding of its Navajo Water Project. The organization is now solely focused on bringing hot and cold running water and working toilets to the approximately 2.2 million Americans who still don’t have them. [6] [7] McGraw credits the shift to a 2013 phone call with a donor who refused to support his work in Africa until he agreed to visit a small Navajo community without running water in Southwest New Mexico. [8]
McGraw is queer and was closeted until his late 20s, an experience he describes as having "led [him] to be more empathetic with others who were facing insurmountable challenges." [9]
