DIGG (formerly the COVID Injustice Response Circle) was formed in Spring 2020 by three young people who had millions in inherited wealth. The three founders were alarmed about the ways that the COVID pandemic was exposing and intensifying the extreme inequality that already existed, but they saw an opportunity to learn and respond collectively. They hired Mijo Lee and Rye Young, philanthropic consultants who have both led foundations that fund grassroots social justice organizing and who now work with individual donors and foundations.

Rye and Mijo co-created and facilitated this program in 2020 and 2021 in response to the COVID pandemic and its economic fallout. Now, as COVID seems here to stay, so too does the deeply troubling COVID economy. In this third cohort, our mission is still rooted in transforming our relationship to giving in service to a transformed society. The work will be stewarded by our steering committee which is comprised of four alumni who will participate in the program and facilitate peer discussions.
