"Home for Quilts" Matching Campaign
Our efforts are currently focused on finding supporters to help us raise funds for a long-term building. Having a permanent place will mean we can have on-going exhibits and many other quilt-related events. The initial push is to identify benefactors for the first half of our goal--$75,000.
Then, by using that momentum to accelerate us forward in a region-wide fundraising effort to "match" those benefactors' donations thus doubling our funds to reach our overall campaign goal of $150,000.
