We envision a country where everyone can thrive. We work to end poverty in the U.S. so children, families, and individuals can access the material basic needs (diapers, period products and other essentials) required to thrive.
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.
A central theme in the recent grants is multi-product basic-needs distribution. Power In Changing in Columbia, South Carolina received $450,000 for diapers, pads and liners, period underwear, and an FFC Special Opportunity Grant 2024, while Helping Mamas Inc in Norcross, Georgia received $307,421 for diapers, pads and liners, and period supplies. The foundation also supports organizations working specifically on menstrual equity. The Period Collective in Chicago received $362,747 for books, pads and liners, and period underwear, and Access Period in Omaha received $351,836 for pads and liners and period supplies. Project Period in Indianapolis received $291,990 for pads and liners and period underwear. Basic-needs work extends beyond hygiene items. Emergency Infant Services in Tulsa was funded for books alongside diapers and period supplies, and Little Lambs Foundation for Kids in Logan, Utah received support for books, diapers, wipes, pads and liners, and period underwear.

Typical grants cluster around a median of $30,246, with a p25 of $15,000 and a p75 of $57,446. The recent grant list also shows much larger awards layered on top of that distribution, reflecting a mix of operating-style support and larger special-opportunity awards. The same organizations can appear in multiple years, which suggests ongoing relationships rather than isolated gifts. Texas Diaper Bank and Helping Mamas Inc both received grants in 2024 and 2025. The network’s structure includes membership-based access to exclusive grants and resources, and its Funds for Change Grants are listed as offering support to eligible member organizations. The active grant program description also notes unsolicited applications for membership, while Funds for Change itself is not an open unsolicited grant program.
Grantmaking is national, and every grant in the recipient distribution is in the United States. The top state by grant count is Colorado, even though the headquarters are in New Haven, Connecticut; only 1% of grants go to recipients in Connecticut. Recent grants are spread across cities including San Antonio, Birmingham, Tulsa, Savannah, Columbia, Chicago, Omaha, and Indianapolis, showing reach across many regions rather than a single metro area.
The recent grants list shows support for diaper banks, period-supply organizations, and groups serving broader basic-needs needs. Examples include Texas Diaper Bank for adult briefs and diapers, The Period Collective for pads and liners and period underwear, and Emergency Infant Services for books, diapers, and period supplies.
Typical awards are modest: the reported p25 is $15,000, the median is $30,246, and the p75 is $57,446. The grant list also includes larger awards for special opportunity support, so the distribution is wider than the median alone suggests.
No. The grant geography is national, and the recipient-country distribution is entirely U.S.-based. Recent grants go to organizations in places such as San Antonio, Chicago, Omaha, Indianapolis, and Savannah, with Colorado appearing most often by state count.
Yes. Texas Diaper Bank appears in both 2024 and 2025, and Helping Mamas Inc appears in both years as well. That pattern suggests repeated support for some member organizations rather than purely one-time grants.
The network says membership in the National Diaper Bank Network and Alliance for Period Supplies provides access to exclusive grants, member-only bulk diaper purchasing and donation programs, technical assistance, capacity-building resources, training, and inclusion in the member directory. The Funds for Change Grants are described as support for eligible member organizations.
