Real Diaper Association celebrates 6th anniversary with $3,500 in 35 days
What a great time for cloth diapers!

More families than at any time in the past generation are choosing 100% reusable cloth diapers because of cost savings, lower environmental impact, or health concerns.  Cloth diapers are available in major stores.  There are hundreds of cloth diaper brands and styles to meet every diapering need.  And, cloth diaper advocates are spreading their experience online and in their local communities.  

Six years ago, Real Diaper Association set out to encourage advocates to reach out to parents and caregivers to choose cloth diapers for babies.  

Since 2004, Real Diaper Association has played a leading role in the cloth diaper movement. They have trained grassroots advocates to run local Real Diaper Circles, compiled and distributed research, worked with the media, businesses, and other organizations to increase awareness of cloth diapers, and provided unbiased support for consumers. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit charitable organization, RDA does this with the support of their member donors’ tax deductible gifts.


Last year, RDA employed an Executive Director who is leading the organization in a flurry of activity.

• A Cloth-diaper-friendly Daycare Directory and publication of a tip sheet on using cloth diapers in daycare, a project co-sponsored by the Real Diaper Industry Association, a cloth diaper industry trade association.
  
  
• Real Diaper Facts blog carnival in which dozens of participants wrote about cloth diaper benefits, highlighting available research.
  
  
• What a Waste, a website focused on the issue of solid waste created by single-use diapers.
  
  
• 100% Reusable Cloth Diapers campaign to support families in choosing and using real diapers all the time, every time.

Fifteen active Real Diaper Circles hold local meetings, teaching families face to face how to use cloth diapers. Nearly 100 volunteers in training are working become Real Diaper Circle Leaders across the U.S. and Canada.

August 11th is Real Diaper Association’s 6th anniversary.  To celebrate years of cloth diaper education and advocacy and to support the position of Executive Director, they have launched a campaign to raise $3,500 in 35 days.  


There is more work to be done to advocate cloth diapers.  The Real Diaper Association Executive Director has volunteers ready to do that work, and it’s time for cloth diaper advocates to support the position of RDA Executive Director so she can change the world one baby at a time.

Please tell your contacts that you support cloth diapers, and ask them to support Real Diaper Association in their cloth diaper education and advocacy.  

Support $3,500 in 35 days for Real Diapers.
