What Babies Need Bottoms Inc does
Mission
Our mission is to improve the lives of babies, toddlers, and parents in Western North Carolina through diaper distribution, community awareness and partnerships.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Diaper Assistance Program: In 2025, 763,388 diapers were distributed to families in need. Babies Need Bottoms partnered with over 80 social service agencies in 18 Counties in Western NC to help meet this basic health and hygiene need for over 2,500 babies every month. In addition to diapers, Babies Need Bottoms distributed additional supplies of packages of baby wipes, tubes of rash cream, bottles of baby wash and canisters of infant formula when these additional supplies were available.
$877,819 spent100% of program spendingDiapers were provided to community partners serving known clients and who were already regularly providing additional social services to support, stabilize and help lift families out of poverty; as well as to agencies serving walk-in clients facing acute crises, such as baby pantries, food pantries, and food markets, including some with mobile units or pop-up markets to expand into rural communities especially where transportation issues are a barrier for families.
Hurricane Helene Recovery: Hurricane Helene devastated our region in September 2024. Babies Need Bottoms provided front line diaper, hygiene supply and formula distribution, and continued recovery support by distributing baby feeding and hygiene supplies, as well as distributing additional care items (socks, underwear, winter coats, baby food, baby equipment) to help meet more of the acute needs our community faces during the recovery process.
The 3 programs described on its FY2025 Form 990, listed largest first by expense. Program spending in total: $877,819.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2023 to 2024, from $366k to $1.4M (+270%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2020 1% · 2021 11% · 2022 9% · 2023 8% · 2024 1% · 2025 1%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
100% of Babies Need Bottoms Inc’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (91% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 6 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
Who funds it, year by year
2019 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 8 funders, grant income rose $5k → $117k.
11 of 30 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 39% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of Babies Need Bottoms Inc’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
Babies Need Bottoms Inc has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 26% of grant income, and it takes 4 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 4 funders to its left
59% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund Babies Need Bottoms Inc.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2019 100% · 2020 39% · 2021 44% · 2022 50% · 2023 43% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How long its funders stay
43% of Babies Need Bottoms Inc's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 37% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
74% of Babies Need Bottoms Inc's grant income comes from North Carolina funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $334k arriving through sponsors registered in 9 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.

Babies Need Bottoms Inc holds deeper cash reserves than three-quarters of the 13,062 human services nonprofits its size.
