Overview

Mission

Southeastern Quilt & Textile Museum is a dynamic cultural hub dedicated to preserving and celebrating textile traditions. Through interactive exhibitions, educational programs, and community partnerships, we connect people to the stories, skills, and creativity woven into every fiber.

What it reported doing in 2025

The Museum holds exhibits on a rotating basis throughout the year from various artists, touring exhibits, and guilds. In addition, the Museum sponsors classes on quilting, embroidery, and other sewing skills to adults and children. In particular, the Museum holds two weeks of sewing camp, Kids Camp, in the summer teaching children 10 and up the basics of sewing, quilting, and other textile arts. The Museum frequently sponsors lectures by quilting artists.

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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and liabilities are high compared with assets.
