The grant will be distributed among 25 community-based member organizations, ranging from the Food Bank of North Alabama to Wyoming’s Mommy’s Closet. By targeting smaller, localized basic needs banks, the funding bypasses large-scale logistical hurdles to reach families in immediate need. This latest contribution brings the total support provided by the Cohen Foundation to the network to $600,000.

NDBN CEO Joanne Samuel Goldblum noted that the partnership serves as a critical intervention in the ongoing struggle against domestic diaper insecurity. As the nonprofit celebrates its 15th anniversary in 2026, it continues to manage a membership of over 300 banks nationwide. The organization remains focused on both direct material assistance and the advancement of public policies aimed at ensuring families have access to the basic necessities required for their children to thrive.
