Maps seeking local difference-makers for $1,000 grants
Know someone making a difference in the Salem area?
Maps Credit Union’s community foundation is seeking 15 do-gooders for their annual Maps Community Award.
Nominations are open through June 30 for people who are improving the community and inspiring others to do the same.
“They might be helping family, neighbors, friends, or community members via volunteering or through their business or employment,” the nomination form reads. Preference will be given to Maps members.
Winners will be selected in July. Each winner will choose a nonprofit in Marion or Polk county to receive $1,000 from the MAPS Community Foundation. Winners will also get a basket of local goods that “celebrate our region and support our area businesses,” the form says.
To nominate someone or learn more, visits the Maps Community Foundation website.
