Overview
Mission
To promote interest in hand weaving in the community through education, instruction, research, and service without profit.
What it reported doing in 2024
The Seattle Weavers Guild annual sale and show in October each year is a major event. In addition to raising funds for the operation of the Guild, it is a community outreach event that introduces the public to our fiber artists, demonstrations of various weaving equipment, and the concept of fiber as a medium of artistic expression. This event has brought our members talents to the attention of others in the area and has resulted in several other service opportunities at schools and museums.In November 2025, we were invited to demonstrate weaving at the Best of the Northwest craft show. There we gave both adults and children opportunities to try weaving on small looms.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
