    Diaper Bank of Chicago

    Awarded: Awarded Amount: $5,000

    The Diaper Bank of Chicago is requesting $5,000 in support of our programming, which provides diapers, books and support to families across Chicago and works to educate the public on diaper need. This grant would allow us to continue to serve our existing partners while adding an additional partner, Simpson Academy, which is a Chicago Public School for young mothers and pregnant young women. We hosted our first event at Simpson last month and we were asked to provide ongoing support to their students, which we have agreed to. On average, we spend approximately $750 per month, per partner, to support that organization's diaper needs. We currently have 8 partners we work with each month, and Simpson would be our 9th. The monthly program expenses include our part-time doula/program manager, as well as the actual diapers and books themselves.
