You might have your friend contact a well-known, established company that handles estate sales in the area. I seems to me that those companies here are knowledgeable about pricing items such as this. Possibly they could be combined with another sale, for a commission cost.

A call to the International Quilt Study Center and Museum at the University of Nebraska - Lincoln, may give you some of the information for which you're searching, including donation options. http://www.quiltstudy.org/

quiltappraisers.org is the Professiobal Association of Appraisers-Quilted Textiles. You'll be shocked at the low value, though. I have several old quilts that I've had appraised. One is from the 1880s and is in excellent condition. The insurance blue is only $450 and the insurance value is more than twice the sale value. I've bought several of my quilts at auction for less than $100. Go to EBay and look at the recently sold prices.

I contacted an AQS appraiser living in the St Louis area. She says that she works by the hour and can get a lot of appraisals done in an hour or two. Her hourly fee is reasonable so I have forwarded her email reply to my contact. Oh I sure would love to be there for the appraisal!
Thank you everyone for all of the great suggestions.

You could contact Cookie Martin at batiksplus.com: she is in the St Louis area and has experience having quilts appraised (not by her, but I know she had some appraised a while back) and could direct you to someone in the area.
