Salem area

Salem Community Foundation makes grants from its endowment funds to Ohio-registered 501(c)(3) nonprofits serving the Salem area. It supports arts and humanities, health and human services, public and community services, and education, and it gives priority to projects with community-wide reach and matching gifts. A Salem-area nonprofit planning a community playground or park improvement could apply.

Could a playground win this?

Possible fit Medium confidence

Playgrounds are not named, but the foundation supports public and community services and has funded the Salem Parks and Recreation Department, so a community playground project by a Salem-area nonprofit fits its purpose. Operating budgets are not usually funded, so present it as a distinct project.

Grant applicants must serve people in the Salem area, have an IRS 501(c)(3) designation, and support the areas of arts and humanities, health and human services, public and community services, and education.
