The Internal Revenue Code recognizes the City of Salem as a Section 170(c)(1) organization, which allows donations to be classified as a charitable contribution. However, as the City of Salem does not advise as to the deductibility of contributions received, you may need to consult with a tax advisor to determine the deductibility of the donation.
