COLUMBIA, S.C. (WMBF) – Hundreds of nonprofits in South Carolina who have struggled during the coronavirus pandemic will be getting some extra money soon.
Back in October, Gov. Henry McMaster announced two new grant programs made available through the SC CARES Act: the Nonprofit Relief Grant Program and the Minority and Small Business Relief Grant Program.
On Wednesday, the South Carolina Department of Administration announced that 686 organizations will receive money through the Nonprofit Relief Grant Program. Those who applied were eligible to receive between $2,500 to $50,000 in funds.
