SWOA of Salem proudly stands in a unique situation. It is run by a female Board of Managers who distributes the income generated by the organization’s permanent fund. The Association operates privately with no political or religious ties.
As a small independent organization, SWOA is able to react quickly to avert crises to financially-challenged individuals and families. Currently there are nominal administrative fees. Each member of the Board of Managers personally delivers monthly stipends directly to beneficiaries.
Throughout SWOA’s nearly two-hundred-year history, it has been dedicated to aiding their beneficiaries with financial gifts, hope, and encouragement.
