Sources of Support

The New England Quilt Museum was founded in 1987 by a corps of passionate individuals who dreamed of a place dedicated to the preservation and exhibition of antique and contemporary quilts. Starting the museum took extraordinary vision; continuing to fulfill its mission takes support from a wide variety of sources. We need and appreciate your support.

The Museum's programs and exhibitions are supported by:

  Through the biennial Images Quilt Show and Conference at the Lowell Quilt Festival
• Quilting Guilds throughout New England
• Foundations and Government Agencies
• Corporations and Businesses
• The New England Quilt Museum Endowment Fund
  

In addition, NEQM earns revenue each year from:

• Admission fees
  
• Membership fees

All of these sources form a "patchwork of funds" with each piece essential for the museum to succeed. You can help by spreading the word to guilds, businesses and individuals. Thanks.
