You Make a Difference: Helping Families, Changing Lives

The National Diaper Bank Network believes every family deserves the basics they need to thrive. That’s why we work every day to ensure babies and families across the country have access to clean, dry diapers and other essential items—especially those living in poverty. But we can’t do it without you.

Your Impact in 2024

✨ 370,000 children receive diapers each month through NDBN’s member diaper banks - made possible by donors like you.

✨ Your support fuels advocacy that drives real policy changes, like California providing a three-month diaper supply for newborns.

✨ Your generosity powers research that informs solutions, in partnership with experts like the Urban Institute, ensuring long-term impact.

Whether you choose to give monthly to sustain ongoing support, make a tribute gift to honor someone special, or start a fundraiser to rally your community, your kindness makes all the difference.

IRA Sample Letter Stocks or Securities

Donating appreciated securities – such as stock or mutual funds – to National Diaper Bank Network is a tax-wise approach to providing for children in need.

*The benefits available to you when making a charitable contribution of stock or mutual funds may include:

• Avoiding federal and state tax on the capital gain;
• Receiving an income tax deduction (federal and most states) for the full market value of the gift if you itemize deductions on your tax return and have held the assets one year or longer;
