Interesting facts and figures about Project Linus:

  • Karen Loucks started Project Linus on December 24, 1995. The Sacramento Chapter began in January 1997.
  • Project Linus nationally has been alive for 5,482 days as of January 1, 2011.
  • Project Linus National has had nonprofit status since May 12, 1997.
  • Project Linus nationally has officially collected 3,566,285 blankets as of September 30, 2010. If 60% of them are fabric, that translates into about 6,419,313 yards of fabric. If 40% are afghans, that
    is about 11,412,112 skeins of yarn.
  • If each blanket is an average of 60" long, and we laid them end to end, they would stretch 17,831,425 feet or 3,377 miles. That is as tall as
    614 Mt. Everests, or 12,264 Willis Towers (formerly the Sears Tower) or 14,265 Empire State Buildings or as long as 59,438 football fields!
  • Assuming each delivered blanket so far had a label, the cost for labels would be $106,988.55.
  • As of January 1, 2011, Project Linus has 371 chapters in the United States. We have 371 wonderful, compassionate coordinators.
  • If each of our 371 wonderful compassionate coordinators donates an average of 20 hours per week to their chapter, that would mean about 1,040 hours per year each. And that's just coordinators!
  • Think you're not making a financial contribution to Project Linus?
    How much money is your time worth? Even at minimum wage, 20 hours per week is a salary of $8,320 in donated time per year, per coordinator. If you are talking about 371 wonderful, compassionate coordinators, it is a value of $3,086,720 per year.
