What Quilters Anonymous does
Mission
To share the love and knowledge of all aspects of quilting and related items and to provide education and quilting related community service. Quilters Anonymous is organized exclusively for educational purposes and to encourage individuals without discrimination, to pursue knowledge and to raise and maintain standards in quilting and related items.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Programs
Quilters Anonymous is involved in a variety of community service projects. Each year 800 to 1000 quilts are provided to premature babies in the neonatal care units at seattle area hospitals. The program has provided premature babies and their families with over 6,400 quilts since 2016. Holiday stockings are created for community centers that help low income children and families. Hundreds of stockings are created each year with over 14,000 donated since 2016. Lap robe size quilts are made for cancer patients receiving treatment. Since 2007 more than 100 quilts have been created for this project. Quilters Anonymous also provides quilts to nursing homes and hospice care facilities
$0 spent0% of program spendingOur annual quilt show displays over 400 quilts and receives over 3,000 visitors each year. The show serves as a forum to provide education on the history and importance of quilt making. The quilt show provides a forum for quilters and those interested in quilting to expand their knowledge about quilts. This year the in-person quilt show was canceled, but we displayed a virtual quilt show on our website.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2019 to 2020, from $145k to $98k (−32%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
10% of QUILTERS ANONYMOUS’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (57% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.
Who funds it, year by year
2018 → 2023: the base held at 1 funder, grant income fell $1k → $66.
1 of 2 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 23% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

How concentrated its funding is
QUILTERS ANONYMOUS leans on a few funders — its largest provides 77% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
Largest funder’s share by year: 2018 100% · 2020 100% · 2021 100% · 2022 100% · 2023 100% — broadly stable.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Where its funders are
QUILTERS ANONYMOUS draws 100% of its grant income from funders outside Washington, across 1 state in all.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $294 arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
