Dear future chapter presidents,

By reaching this page we assume your investigation into starting a chapter of Newborns In Need included a thorough visit to our site and you are familiar with our mission and goals.

Who are our babies?

Babies in poverty without a clean and safe place to sleep
Babies born to young mothers who don’t know where to turn
Babies who are born too early and small, who need appropriate sized clothing
Babies who are born, but lose the fight for life so bereavement items for the baby and the family are needed

If you believe you can support the mission of serving these babies and families, then Newborns In Need would like to talk to you.

Our Chapter Director should have a strong dedication to the organization as you will spend many hours serving these babies. Directors understand that even though they operate chapters in their own state, they are part of a larger team and work towards the success of the total organization which is headquartered in North Carolina. We are looking for dedication, commitment and the ability to lead strong individual groups but be able to work in tandem with chapters across the United States. Due to our locations across the U.S., internet access and e-mail capability are required to lead your Newborns In Need chapter.

Are you a self-starter? Do you have the ability to plan and organize a group to support babies in your area? Do you have one or two people that might help you get started? If you would love the opportunity to start something in your area and make a huge difference to babies in need; contact our office at nationaloffice@newbornsinneed.org for more information and include new chapter inquiry in the subject line. You will receive out start up information and an application for you to review. PLEASE NOTE: Applications are reviewed once each month. Applications received after the 5th of the month will be reviewed the following month.

As a NIN Chapter, you will benefit from:

Membership in a 501(c)3 charity meeting all requirements of the IRS to provide charitable donation receipts
A free website and newborns in need e-mail address
A bank account to manage donations and funds
Ongoing support from the National Office and other chapter presidents
An internet message board and e-mail list access for exchanging information with others who are interested in helping the babies.

All of us at Newborns in Need are excited at the prospect of you joining our organization. Last year over 400,000 items were donated and we still have needs pouring in from all over the country. Help us answer the cry of these babies. We need your help and support.

One Heart, One Mission

Connie Edwards
National President
