Overview

Mission

It is Maryland Diaper Banks (MDB) vision to reduce the struggle of Maryland Families in providing babies with adequate diapering essentials. We have learned that in order to have a successful organization, it is important that our community is informed and engaged in our mission and vision.

What it reported doing in 2025

A total of 1,882,965 items were distributed including other baby essentials with the total value of $291,867.68 for the year 2025 impacting over 16,000 families in the Southern Maryland Tri-County Areas and Prince Georges County. We also partnered with the Maryland Communication Action Partnership program to distribute diapers across the state as well as Delaware.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
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.

The verdict

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of voting board members are independent.
