National Diaper Bank Network

About National Diaper Bank Network

National Diaper Bank Network Inc. centers its grantmaking on diaper need, period poverty, and other basic essentials, with member organizations receiving support for direct distribution and related capacity building. The network’s largest recent award in the data was a $1,866,757 grant to Texas Diaper Bank in San Antonio for adult briefs, diapers, pads and liners, period underwear, and an FFC Special Opportunity Grant 2024. That scale shows a funder working through a national network rather than one-off local awards. The foundation’s recent grants also reach organizations serving multiple basic-needs categories at once. Emergency Infant Services in Tulsa received $636,142 for books, diapers, pads and liners, period supplies, and an FFC Special Opportunity Grant. Over the Moon Diaper Bank in Savannah received $602,417 for adult briefs, diapers, pads and liners, period underwear, and wipes. Those awards point to a model that combines product distribution with targeted flexible support for member programs. Across the recent grants list, the network backs diaper banks, period-supply distributors, and affiliated community organizations that serve infants, families, menstruating people, older adults, and caregivers. Its own program structure includes Funds for Change grants and membership-based access to grants and member resources.
