The Salem Public Library Foundation is an independent organization dedicated to developing financial resources in support of the Salem Public Library. Financial support from the Foundation provides funds for special projects and programs to enhance Library service.

Formed in 1981, the Salem Public Library Foundation is an not-for-profit organization under IRC § 501(c)3, independent of Salem City Government. Contributions to the Foundation are tax deductible to the extent allowable by law. Please consult with your tax advisor regarding your gift for the Foundation.

The Foundation is directed by a volunteer community board, which includes the Director of the Salem Public Library. The Foundation's office is housed in the Salem Public Library, and Foundation members work closely with Library staff to identify funding needs that fall outside tax-supported activities of the Library.
