Definition: Quilt Assist is the avenue by which Qld Quilters Inc provides funding to Affiliated Groups to assist nominated Queensland charities.

2024 Applications

Assist to Affiliated Groups of Queensland Quilters Inc. – Please apply.

Queensland Quilters is a not for profit organisation with the objectives of promoting the art and craft of patchwork and quilting  bringing together like minded people and supporting our local and state-wide communities. In the difficult times we have had over the past few years with Covid, droughts and floods, Queensland Quilters Inc offers support to Affiliated Groups with financial assistance towards the cost of making quilts providing batting or materials, or other appropriate items for charity, hospitals, disaster relief or people in need.

Please discuss these issues with your group and apply as early as possible in 2024.

Looking forward to hearing how our Affiliated Groups throughout Queensland and Northern NSW assist their local communities.
