Why Give to NDBN?
The National Diaper Bank Network is the recognized leader in efforts to end diaper need and period poverty in the U.S. Since 2011, we’ve partnered with hundreds of local community-based basic needs banks to distribute essential supplies, expand local capacity, and drive policy change.
When you include the National Diaper Bank Network in your estate plans, you support:
- Effective, community-driven programs. Our member basic needs banks serve more than 370,000 children each month with clean diapers and essential supplies.
- A trusted national infrastructure. We support a growing Network of more than 300 local organizations with technical support, research, and funding strategies that strengthen service delivery.
- Policy and systems change. Our team conducts original research, engages with lawmakers, and works with partners to help secure public funding and implement lasting solutions to material hardship.
- Long-term impact. Planned gifts sustain national coordination, advocacy, and innovation that improve outcomes for families and increase access to basic material needs across the country.
