How We Do It: Alliance Partners and Supporters

The Alliance works through partners nationwide:

Our Board: Twenty-five dedicated individuals representing quilt makers, the quilt industry, academic institutions, and just lovers of quilts who volunteer their time to guide, govern, and support the work of The Alliance.

Our Regional Centers: The Alliance has formalized partnership arrangements with two institutions-the Center for American Material Culture Studies at the University of Delaware and the Great Lakes Quilt Center at the Michigan State University Museum-to be Alliance-designated Regional Centers For The Quilt. A similar arrangement is pending with the Center for American History at the University of Texas. Each regional center agrees to coordinate nationally an Alliance project and to implement all Alliance projects within their geographic region.

Our Project Task Forces: Each regional center and The Alliance work together to engage interested and active volunteers to coordinate, develop, and implement Alliance projects.

Our National Support Committee: A group of individuals around the country who provide key funding, assistance, and fund-raising support to The Alliance and its projects.

Our Business Supporters: Companies interested in associating with The Alliance's mission and reaching the vast market of Americans involved with quilts by providing project and web sponsorship, grant funding, and marketing tie-ins.
