Butler Academy:
Butler Academy serves motivated students across the Pee Dee region, operating as a tuition-free public charter school based in Hartsville.
Meaningful Support from the Byerly Foundation
In 2023, the Byerly Foundation awarded Butler Academy $225,000 to strengthen its charter school operations—reflecting a major investment in its educational infrastructural needs.
Building on that commitment, the Foundation continued its support into 2024: it granted an additional $200,000 specifically for the charter school’s operational funding.
These substantial contributions underscore the Foundation’s long-term dedication to fostering educational equity and academic opportunity for local students.
Why It Matters
Operational Stability: Funding operations—from classroom resources to staff support—directly helps sustain and enhance the quality of teaching and learning experiences at Butler Academy.
Strategic Philanthropy: The continuity of this support, spanning at least two consecutive years (2023 and 2024), demonstrates the Byerly Foundation’s strategic commitment to nurture local education for lasting impact.
Community Collaboration: By partnering with Butler Academy, the Foundation is investing in the students’ future and reinforcing a stronger educational ecosystem across Hartsville and the wider Pee Dee region.
