Continuing its decades-long support of programs to enrich the youth of our community, The Rotary Club of Salisbury has awarded $36,000 divided among 13 local non-profit organizations through its annual 3-Point Initiative. The initiative supports youth programs that promote leadership, integrity, and academic achievement.
Barbara Leonard and Robin Evans, co-chairs of the 107-year-old club’s 3-Point Initiative, noted that “the 2026 grants can only be provided through the tremendous support of our partnering organizations.”
Funding for these grants comes from members of the Rotary Club of Salisbury, plus its partnering organizations that include the Donnie Williams Foundation, Richard & Patricia Hazel Charitable Fund, Richard A. Henson Foundation, and Mitzi Perdue.
Eligible organizations were government entities, faith-based organizations, and non-profit public
charities that support programs for youth on the Lower Eastern Shore. Members of the Rotary Club of Salisbury screened the applications and weighed the contributions that each organization would make to the community.
