Mission and programs · 2025

Mission

Our mission is to improve the lives of babies, toddlers, and parents in Western North Carolina through diaper distribution, community awareness and partnerships.

  • 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.

    Expenses $877,819

  • Diapers 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.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

The four totals the IRS asks for on Part I of the Form 990, as filed. A dash means the figure was not present on the return — not that it was zero.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.

As filed, from the IRS e-Postcard file of 2 November 2026. The IRS publishes only each organization's most recent postcard, so earlier years are not shown. A 990-N carries no financial detail. The postcard also gives the principal officer's address, which is not shown here.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Grants received

The 10 largest by cash amount. The API serves every itemized grant.

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.

What this page reflects

The registration facts above come from the IRS Business Master File published 13 October 2026 and read 1 November 2026, for every organization at once. Returns through tax year 2025, the newest we have parsed for this organization.
