What Western Pennsylvania Diaper Bank does
Mission
Western Pennsylvania Diaper Bank was founded with the mission of ensuring babies in need are clean, healthy and dry, now in its second decade of service, the diaper bank has evolved to better support caregivers and family members of all ages with not only diaper needs, but also period poverty and incontinence.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
One in two american families struggle to provide diapers for their babies. They cannot afford to keep them clean, healthy and dry. Western Pennsylvania Diaper Bank was founded in 2012 to raise awareness of the diaper crisis in our community. Through research, we found that ebt, snap, and wic did not cover diapers. Families had to make a decision to buy diapers or food. Diapers cost about $100-$120 dollars per month per baby. The very first year of service, we distributed 16,000 diapers. In 2024 we distributed 2.7 million diapers and also partnered with 70 plus social service agencies. In the last 14 years, we have distributed 12 million diapers and counting. We now serve eight counties in western pennsylvania. They are allegheny, beaver, cambria, fayette, greene, indiana, washington, and westmoreland counties. We also distribute baby hygiene, period products, and incontinence. All basic necessities not covered by government assistance. Everyone deserves basic needs!

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 $93k to $298k (+220%).
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 5% · 2022 7% · 2023 21% · 2024 38%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
98% of WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA DIAPER BANK’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (81% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

From the IRS filings of WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA DIAPER BANK’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 38 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
WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA DIAPER BANK has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 21% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
61% 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 WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA DIAPER BANK.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 62% · 2018 76% · 2019 37% · 2020 52% · 2021 46% · 2022 60% · 2023 35% — 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
38% of WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA DIAPER BANK's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 63% 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

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $606k arriving through sponsors registered in 7 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.
