Annual Fundraisers:
Quota of Tacoma raises funds to support our community giving. Each fiscal year the fundraising committee works with the community service committee to determine the desired fundraising target. We have established relationships with several local businesses to help us host these events each year and we are grateful for their involvement.
Holiday Poinsettias
Each October we start selling 6” poinsettia plants in 4 color varieties. These lovely plants are provided by local grower DeGoede Brothers. We deliver the first week of December, just in time to bring holiday cheer to the recipients.
Pancake Breakfast with Santa
We have been fortunate to partner with Applebee’s to host a pancake breakfast in early December. Timing this fundraiser around the Christmas holiday, Santa and Mrs. Claus have attended to take photos. We split the cost of the breakfast with Applebee’s and we hold a silent auction to help increase our funds raised.
Spring Tulips
We sell 6” pots with 5 tulip bulbs in each pot and offer them in 4-5 color varieties thanks to DeGoede Brothers Nursery. This fundraiser generally takes place at the end of March or early April and the timing often lines up with the Easter holiday.
Garage Sale
It’s been said that one person’s junk is another’s treasure. We firmly believe that’s true! Each June we host a multi-family garage and bake sale to share our cast-off treasures with others. This one-day event enables all of our Quota members to clean out their closets and hang out together while we work the sale. It’s lots of fun and has been quite impactful for our fundraising efforts.
Summer Planter Baskets
Every June, we sell and deliver over 300 hanging baskets - beautiful fuchsias or mixed sun-loving plants. Again, our supplier is DeGoede Brothers and the quality of these planters is exceptional.
Golf Tournament
Highland Golf Course is the site of Quota of Tacoma’s annual golf tournament. Typically held the last Saturday in July, this event brings together about 100 golfers for some healthy and fun competition. Prizes are awarded to the team with the lowest score, plus a closest to the pin prize for both men and women. There’s also a hole in one event with an amazing cash prize, and a small silent auction to augment our fundraising.
Bunco Blast
Playing Bunco is a fantastic way to meet people and Quota’s Bunco Blast event generally draws about 100 players! There are cash prizes for most wins, most buncos, and least wins (no losers here!) and a silent auction.
We want to share the story behind Quota and who benefits from our work and bring laughter and joy to those who participate.
Partner and Sponsor Recognition. We appreciate you beyond measure!

An Open Invitation - Please join us to help raise funds for Pierce County Neighbors in need
For more than 84 years, Quota of Tacoma has empowered women, children, and those in Pierce County who are struggling and in need of support. Our Quota members are extremely proud of what our organization has accomplished and the positive impact we have in our community. We contribute in two ways: by raising funds that can be used by local high-impact organizations established to address the needs of the community, and by doing hands-on work on specific projects. Through these efforts, we have positively changed many lives in Pierce County.
Some of the organizations that have benefitted from our recent collaboration: Family Renewal Shelter, Tacoma Rescue Mission, Toy Rescue Mission, Nourish Pierce County, Raising Girls, Phoebe House, Children’s Therapy Center, and Pierce County Coalition Against Human Trafficking. In addition, we recently donated $6,000 in scholarships for three students who were the first in their family to attend college. It is an incredible feeling to provide that level of assistance to a young person pursuing their career goals.
You can make a difference!
We rely on our fundraising events and the generosity of our friends, neighbors, and the broader community to enable us to fund these organizations and their important initiatives.
You can help in this effort by making a tax-deductible gift today.

Quota of Tacoma is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit and your donation is tax deductible to the extent the law allows. (Tax ID# 91-6054749).
Thank you for your consideration, time and generosity. Your support is truly appreciated.
