Mission

THE SALEM COMMUNITY FOUNDATION, A PUBLIC NON-PROFIT CHARITABLE TRUST, HAS AS ITS MISSION TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF LIFE IN SALEM, OHIO, AND THE IMMEDIATE AREA. THE MISSION OF THE SALEM COMMUNITY FOUNDATION IS TO ASSESS AND MEET CHANGING COMMUNITY NEEDS AND INTERESTS THROUGH FINANCIAL AWARDS, AND TO ASSIST DONORS TO BUILD AND PRESERVE ENDURING ASSETS FOR CHARITABLE PURPOSES. GRANTS ARE PROVIDED THROUGH ENDOWMENT FUNDS ESTABLISHED BY GENEROUS DONORS AND SUPPORT A BROAD RANGE OF NEEDS IN THE AREAS OF ARTS AND HUMANITIES, HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES, PUBLIC AND COMMUNITY SERVICES, AND EDUCATION.

Each tax year counts once: when a return was amended, only the latest return for that period is used below (superseded returns stay listed, greyed, under Finances).

People paid by the organization

None of the 33 people listed on these returns reported compensation from the organization. They are listed below.

Officers and directors, no compensation reported

33 people listed on the returns with $0 (or no amount) in every compensation column: current people first. Hours are as filed on the latest return each person appears on.

People by year

Highest-paid independent contractors

No independent contractors reported.

Who the money went to

Grants this organization reported paying: Schedule I Part II of the Form 990, or the grants-paid list on the 990-PF. Open a year for every recipient. Recipients link to their own page when the grant names an EIN we have (990-PF grants list no EIN, so those link only on an exact, unique name and state). Grants to individuals are counted; their names are not shown.

Negative amounts are returned or refunded grants; they are listed last and left out of the totals of grants paid.

Who gave

Contributor names are not public for this form type.

Public charities filing Form 990 or 990-EZ report large donors on Schedule B, but the IRS withholds their names and addresses from public copies. Private foundations (990-PF) are different: their contributors are public.

Finances

Newest first. Each filing: its name on one row, its figures on the row beneath. Greyed filings are superseded by a later return for the same period and are left out everywhere else on this page.

Funders of this organization

20 grantors reported grants to this organization, $17,756,158 in all, tax years 2009 to 2025. Exact: the grantor wrote this organization's EIN. Fuzzy: the grantor wrote only a name (foundations' 990-PF has no EIN field), matched to the same or a near-identical name in the same state; the name as filed is shown. From the latest return for each grantor and year, so amended returns aren't counted twice. CSV

Where the money went

Every expense line on each return, biggest first: Form 990 Part IX (with its program, management and fundraising columns), 990-EZ Part I, or 990-PF Part I. Event marks lines the organization itself describes as events. “Events” in each summary adds those lines, conferences and meetings, and the direct costs of fundraising events. Unusual is not the same as improper. Many of these patterns have ordinary explanations. Check the filing.

Donor-advised funds

Donors to individual donor-advised funds are not public. These filings show what the sponsor reports, not who gave.

As reported on Schedule D Part I (and the Form 990 Part IV question “did the organization maintain donor advised funds”). Unusual is not the same as improper. Many of these patterns have ordinary explanations. Check the filing.
