Overview

Mission

To provide a reliable and adequate supply of basic baby diapering essentials to struggling families. Indiana diaper bank provides diapers to other local nonprofit agencies so they can give them to clients in need.

What it reported doing in 2025

Indiana diaper bank distributed 9,800,000 diapers and more than 40,000 baby wipe packages to families experiencing financial hardship throughout central Indiana. These essential items were provided through a network of nonprofit partners serving families facing diaper need in a variety of emergency and high-risk situations, including children residing in shelters, emergency foster care placements, and children enrolled in early learning programs located in high-risk zip codes. Diapers were also distributed through local food banks, helping families access critical baby essentials alongside other basic necessities. Program expenses included the purchase of 4,569,650 diapers, baby wipes, and related supplies, as well as materials used to package and bundle these items for distribution to families in need.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 93% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
