Mission

As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
Happybottoms is kansas city's diaper bank. We are the only organization focused solely on obtaining and distributing diapers to help families with young children to bridge the diaper need gap (the number of diapers a family is short each month). In 2025, 19,346 children were served (unduplicated count) and 6,658,135 diapers were distributed to Happybottoms agency, hospital and outreach programs. Of these 5,955,925 were distributed through Happybottoms 83 partner agencies, as well as 660 potty training kits. 308,600 diapers were distributed by 6 hospital sites. In addition, 87,535 diapers were distributed through Happybottoms community outreach initiatives, happy packs and hub.Happybottoms community diaper program is comprised of bundles of joy: provides mothers and their newborns an initial supply of 75 diapers and information about how to continue receiving diapers each month; monthly diaper program: children receive 75 diapers or 50 pull-ups, and potty training education: families receive a potty training kit (potty seat, stepstool, parent guide to potty training, board book and stickers) to help them navigate this important developmental stage and eliminate diaper…

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 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 2019 to 2020, from $878k to $1.5M (+75%).
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: 2017 1% · 2021 9% · 2022 5% · 2023 1% · 2024 1% · 2025 1%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
92% of HAPPYBOTTOMS’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (81% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

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
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 12 funders to 31 funders, grant income rose $172k → $419k.
18 of 91 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 27% 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 HAPPYBOTTOMS’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 91 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
HAPPYBOTTOMS has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 18% 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
40% 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 HAPPYBOTTOMS.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 46% · 2018 41% · 2019 22% · 2020 23% · 2021 24% · 2022 21% · 2023 24% — 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
44% of HAPPYBOTTOMS's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 56% 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
HAPPYBOTTOMS draws 67% of its grant income from funders outside Missouri, across 18 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $889k arriving through sponsors registered in 13 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.
