Overview
Mission
Our mission is to educate members and the public in the history and art of quilting.
What it reported doing in 2025
Our guild has many activities during the year. On a monthly basis we have our chairman reports, education classes, drawings, contests, 50/50 drawing, lending library, show and tell, and sales of tickets for our opportunity quilt. We are also working with local libraries with quilts pertaining to books about quilts.other activities during the year include our christmas luncheon, our quilt retreat and now this year three small 3 day retreats for our members to learn and share with each other. We also have fabric exchanges, lectures, trunk shows, classes, charity workshops and monthly workshops to make quilts for our veterans. We are part of the national quilts of valor program. We have nationally known instructors come to lecture and teach so that we may continue to educate, grow and flourish. This year we have partnered with three local libraries to provide a book and quilt for storytime for young quilters to be.our major fundraiser of the year was our tea party where we had a hat contest, 50/50, and basketmania. We also had three in-house small retreats. They consist of demos, trunk shows, quilt blocks, food, fun and door prizes. This year at our christmas luncheon we took donations from the attendees and the guild matched the donation. We gave the funds to our charity for the year to help them setting up their food pantry.throughout the year we donate our charity quilts locally and wherever there might be a need. This year our members turned in 329 quilts to be distributed to charities. Our charities included christian care center, leesburg food bank, head start, children's advocacy, forwardpath, leesburg hospital, advent health waterman foundation, sheriffs victims advocate, lake/sumter families, uf health foundation and luv extension.we presented over 50 quilts of valor at 17 presentations to honor our local veterans. A qov is a citizens' equilvalent of a purple heart.the funds we received from out opportunity quilt will all go to our designated charity which is a21/human trafficking. We always give a generous donation of cash and canned goods to the leesburg food bank. This year we have also given to forward paths. Over the past 23 years we have continued to grow into a guild that is currently active in supporting over 12 charitable organizations.
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 88% 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 program spending has declined or grown slowly.
