What Greater DC Diaper Bank does
Mission
Greater DC Diaper Bank (gdcdb) strengthens families and engages communities by providing diapers and other essentials to vulnerable families in dc, maryland, and virginia. As the only diaper bank in the region, gdcdb aims to be a steward of essential resources and provide as much value through their distribution as possible. We know that diapers are only the beginning of what our struggling families need they need comprehensive social services that address a range of issues from food and medical care to early childhood education and housing. To increase access to poverty interventions, we distribute our products through one-stop shop social service agencies. Most partners use gdcdb diapers as a "gateway resource" to incentivize participation in long-term anti-poverty programs like parenting classes or mental health support groups.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 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 2020 to 2021, from $2.1M to $3.5M (+62%).
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: 2018 1% · 2019 2% · 2020 49% · 2021 12% · 2022 27% · 2023 21% · 2024 24%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
99% of GREATER DC DIAPER BANK’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (81% for the typical peer).

From the IRS filings of GREATER DC DIAPER BANK’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 120 funders by total. 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
GREATER DC DIAPER BANK has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 30% of grant income, and it takes 6 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 6 funders to its left
34% 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 GREATER DC DIAPER BANK.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 25% · 2018 21% · 2019 14% · 2020 42% · 2021 39% · 2022 28% · 2023 19% — 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.

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.

GREATER DC DIAPER BANK draws 87% of its grant income from funders outside Washington, D.C., across 22 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1.9M arriving through sponsors registered in 16 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.
