SPQA provides organizations in Virginia, the District of Columbia, and Maryland an affordable approach to learning about and applying the Baldrige Framework to their organizations. We depend on several factors to help keep the cost of our services affordable including a volunteer workforce and securing contributions and in-kind support from individuals and organizations that believe in SPQA and its mission: “…to promote continual improvement strategies and to provide training, mentoring, and recognition to organizations in pursuit of performance excellence”.

Individuals and organizations may contribute to SPQA’s mission in several ways. Among them, donating time/talent, and donating financial & in-kind resources.
