Diaper Bank of Minnesota
Saint Paul, MN · EIN 30-0631448. Reported 36 grants totalling $560,857 to 36 organizations across tax years 2024, on Form 990 Schedule I.
Does this grantmaker accept applications?
Its tax return does not say, and we will not guess. Private foundations file Form 990-PF, which asks outright whether they fund only organizations they select themselves -- 78% say yes, and that one answer is what lets the rest of this site tell you which foundations are worth approaching. Grantmaking charities like this one file a regular Form 990 instead, and the IRS never puts the question to them. Anyone claiming to know the answer from the filing is inventing it.
Three things in the filing do bear on it:
- What kind of organization it is. For Diaper Bank of Minnesota, the IRS classifies it under human services rather than as a grantmaker (NTEE P60) -- it is an operating charity that also makes grants.
- How spread out its giving is. 36 distinct organizations, with 4% of the dollars going to the largest single recipient. That is genuinely spread out -- the mark of a funder making many independent decisions rather than underwriting one institution.
How big are its grants?
The median reported grant is $17,037. Half of what it reported fell between $9,742 and $18,434; the smallest was $6,696 and the largest $22,818. If you are asking for materially more than the top of that range, you are asking the wrong organization.
36 of those grants were non-cash -- goods, property or services worth $560,857 in total. In-kind giving is real support but it is not a cheque.
Every organization it funded

What kind of organizations it funds
By each recipient's own IRS classification, for the 19 of 36 recipients we could match to a registered organization. These are assigned categories, not our guesses -- Schedule I reports the recipient's EIN, so this is a lookup rather than a name match.

Funders that support the same organizations
These grantmakers and private foundations gave to organizations this one also funded. Shared grantees are the strongest signal available that two funders have overlapping priorities -- and a funder already backing your peers is a far warmer prospect than one that merely lists your cause.
How to approach this grantmaker
- Look for a published programme first. Unlike most private foundations, organizations of this kind often do run open, deadlined grant cycles with written guidelines. Its own website is the authority on that; this page is the authority on who it has actually paid.
- Check you are its size. The median reported grant is $17,037 -- and because grants under $5,000 need not be reported, it very likely writes smaller cheques than this page can see.
- Check you are in its geography. Its giving concentrates in Minnesota.
- Read the recipient list for organizations like yours. If nothing on it resembles your work, that is a real answer and a cheap one to get.
