A philanthropy policy was established by the MVQG Board in 2010 which enables the Mid-Valley Quilt Guild to offer grants to community organizations/groups that: “preserve the quilting heritage for future generations by promoting the art of quilting, sharing knowledge and accomplishments, inspiring creative excellence, encouraging fellowship and service to our community.”

Any organizations/groups who might be interested in applying for a 2021 Mid-Valley Quilt Guild grant, should send the name of the organization/group, contact person, and address to:  maryannhuggins@outlook.com or  MaryAnn Huggins, 1915 Reading Ct. S.E., Salem, OR 97302 and the philanthropy committee will send a cover letter and application.  All grant applications must be received no later than April 15, 2021,  and the grants will be awarded in June, 2021.  It is not necessary for the interested organization/group to be a tax exempt 501(c)(3) to be eligible for grant funds.
