Donations gladly accepted

Salem Classical Fencing was created in late 2003 to promote and support fencing in the Salem area for anyone interested in learning. We are a tax-exempt non-profit organization incorporated in Oregon and recognized by the IRS as a 501(c)(3) organization (for your reference, our federal tax ID # is 20-0530064). We are registered with the Oregon Department of Justice's Charitable Activities Section. Your donation is tax deductible to the fullest extent of the law. 

Among other things, we teach fencing through low-cost group classes at our studio, organize fencing tournaments, put on fencing demonstrations for schools and other local organizations, and support other Salem-area fencing groups, including four high school fencing programs.  

All classes are taught by skilled instructors who teach out of a passion for the art and science of fencing. Our staff is paid a modest wage for teaching classes, but volunteer much of their time. We also depend heavily on volunteers to keep the studio running.

If you wish to earmark your donation for a donation for a specific purpose (e.g. scholarship fund or Salem High School Fencing League), please indicate your wishes in the comments section or on the memo line of your check.
