AIDS Memorial Quilt Request Instructions
Thank you for your interest in hosting a display of the NAMES Project AIDS Memorial Quilt. Please complete the application form that will provide us with information needed to evaluate your request. Please feel free to send any additional information that you feel may be useful to the address at the top of this page, such as a floor plan for the display or any literature that you have to promote the event. In addition to the 12 x 12 foot sections of the Quilt, our Chapter can provide any requested information about the NAMES Project Foundation and history of the AIDS Memorial Quilt. If needed, we also have piping and cable-ties available to hang the Quilt panels.
While there is no charge for using the Quilt for outreach or display events, our Chapter does ask organizations to provide an honorarium whenever possible. These donations help us to bring the Quilt to schools, places of worship, hospitals and other parts of the community. Listed below is a guideline for suggested honorariums:
- Each 12 x 12 panel of Quilt………..…………………….$100.00
- Each 12 x 12 panel with piping and cable-ties….…..…$125.00
- Each 12 x 12 panel with Chapter involvement................$150.00 and up.
We provide this only as a suggested guideline, and at the requests of past organizations who have used the Quilt for displays. We will welcome any received honorarium that will help our Chapter to offset the cost of shipping the Quilt to and from the National Office in Atlanta. If your display is for HIV education/prevention to youth, and the Chapter is allowed to provide educators to do workshops during the display, the honorarium may be waived. Speak with a Chapter representative regarding this.
All Quilt displays must be free to all attendees. However your organization may sell AIDS related merchandise, or take up a collection to cover the costs of the display. Organizers are encouraged to apply for grant funding through their organization and other community sources.
If you have any question, please feel free to call our Chapter at (518)465-0595. Note that no decisions about potential display events can be made until this application is received and reviewed by our Chapter. We look forward to receiving your application and helping you with your efforts in raising HIV/AIDS awareness in your community.
