What Helping Mamas Inc does
Mission
Helping mamas connects helping mamas to mamas needing help. Our vision is to be the baby supply bank of metro atlanta and beyond.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
Helping mamas is a nonprofit baby supply and period product bank headquartered in duluth, georgia. The organization collects, purchases, and distributes essential items -- including diapers, wipes, car seats, and pack-and-plays-- for children from birth through age 12. These itesms are not covered by public assistance programs but are necessary for child health, childcare participation, parental employment. Working through a network of more than 150 partner agencies across georgia and tennessee-- including schools, health departments, shelters, and social service organizations-- helping mamas ensures families have access to basic necessities. The organization has served over 160,000 individuals and distributes millions of essential items annually. Helping mamas also addresses period poverty by providing menstrual hygiene products to women and girls, reducing missed school and work due to lack of access. The organization expands access through community-based distribution, including partner-led and mobile events in underserved areas, helping reduce transportation and access barriers.

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 2023 to 2024, from $1.2M to $2.5M (+106%).
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 18% · 2019 16% · 2020 19% · 2021 20% · 2022 10% · 2023 13% · 2024 14% · 2025 11%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
100% of HELPING MAMAS INC’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (81% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 4 funders to 29 funders, grant income rose $38k → $647k.
10 of 62 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 17% 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 HELPING MAMAS INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 62 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
HELPING MAMAS INC has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 20% 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
50% 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 HELPING MAMAS INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 66% · 2018 54% · 2019 45% · 2020 30% · 2021 42% · 2022 23% · 2023 21% — 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
50% of HELPING MAMAS INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 53% 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.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $623k arriving through sponsors registered in 8 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.
