Donations

Fiber arts donations from and to the Guild

Tangible Donations to the Guild

We often are asked if the Guild accepts donations of looms, spinning wheels, yarn or other supplies.  While there may be some items that we cannot take, we generally encourage donations for resale to our members.  All equipment must be complete, assembled, and fully functioning.  Yarn and fiber must be clean and odor-free.

One of our key events is the biennial Guild Sale where donations from members and non-members are auctioned off to raise funds for the Guild.  These funds go towards programming and community outreach and contribute significantly to our budget.

If you are interested in making a donation, please review our policy before contacting wggb@wggb.org.

Monetary Donations to the Guild

As a 501c3 organization, the Guild accepts monetary donations that you may be able to use as a tax deduction.  Your donations help support programs and other critical Guild activities.

Heifer International

WGGB began a tradition over 15 years ago of collecting loose change from members during its monthly meetings.  The funds raised were used to purchase Knitters’ Baskets from Heifer International. Heifer’s mission is to end hunger and poverty by providing an investment of livestock or agriculture and then mentoring the communities to build a business. Since our tradition began, we have donated more than $2400 to Heifer!  We love how we’re able to share with others what’s meaningful to us.

We now donate to Heifer International to purchase wool sheep, a valuable resource providing warm clothing and milk for families and children living in harsh environments.
