The Upper Midwest QOV Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization and will accept donations of fabric, batting, thread, etc. Please donate only clean, unused fabric of high quality cotton. High quality means high thread count which translates into the fabric feeling soft and sturdy. It should be free of pet hair, smoke and scented laundry products. Muslin, clothing and glitter fabrics are not appropriate.
We will also accept monetary donations. Cash donations are appreciated and can be used to purchase fabric, batting and other necessary supplies. ONE HUNDRED PERCENT (100%) of all donations go to buying products to produce the quilts, or to ship them. Please contact your nearest QOV Contact person and they will help you find a local QOV group to donate to. Click here for the list of Upper Midwest Coordinators.
