Philanthropy

Coachella Valley Quilt Guild members create and donate quilts to various charity organizations throughout the Coachella Valley. The goal is to provide quality quilts annually to organizations in need. You too can help the guild achieve our goal! For additional information on how, contact the committee at the above email link. 

 

  • Suggested sizes for donation quilts​

    -  lap size (most requested) in the 40x60 inches range for adults and older children

    -  crib size for younger children in the 30x46 to 36x52 inches range

    -  occasional need for twin size -- 64x86 inches

    -  no quilt will be turned down, no matter the size

  • Quilts should be washed before being turned into Philanthropy

  • Labels will be attached by Philanthropy

​

Philanthropy Charities

The Philanthropy Committee selects charity organizations within the valley to receive philanthropy quilts made by CVQG members. Charity quilts will be accepted at the monthly Guild meetings and will be distributed throughout the year.

Fidget Quilts

Philanthropy has added a new quilt project to donate to our hospice charities. Fidget quilts are used by individuals suffering from Alzheimer's and dementia. They are small lightly quilted pieces to fit in the lap and allow the recipient to keep their hands busy touching and playing with items on the quilt. This is a fast and simple project that can help you use up those scraps and leftover embellishments. The guild has some fabrics, batting and embellishments available for you to use.
