Your Monday evening update on Salem news

Good evening, Salem.
If you have a community project that could improve Salem, the Rotary Club of Salem might have some money for you.
The club’s Good Works Large Grant is now accepting applications for grants up to $75,000 to nonprofit organizations that “directly or indirectly foster, develop, promote, and encourage the health, education, and general welfare (primarily of youth) in the city of Salem and the surrounding area,” according to an email.
Applications are due Oct. 11, and project work should be completed by June 30, 2025.
For more information or a grant application, contact Beth Rhoades at [email protected].
Also, there’s still time to take our survey about how the city of Salem should address its budget deficit. It’s a quick five questions – fill it out here. We’ll bring you results later this week.
