    The Byerly Foundation and The Sonoco Foundation recently donated $100,000 each to set up the second "boost" fund of $200,000 for non profits in the greater Hartsville area who have been negatively impacted by the various blasts from the Covid-19 pandemic. A zoom call a couple of weeks ago was the first announcement and the Community Foundation for a Better Hartsville has set up the process for obtaining a grant from this fund.  They have the information on their website along with a link to the grant application. Here is the announcement from the website: Community Foundation for a Better Hartsville.  They have begun taking applications and hope to have the funds available to accepted organizations within weeks of approving the applications.
