In every corner of South Carolina, from the salt marshes of the Lowcountry to the rolling foothills of the Upstate, stories shape who we are. They remind us where we’ve come from, reveal the strength of our communities, and guide us toward a more connected future.

At SC Humanities, we believe that every story matters. A grandmother’s memory of growing up on a family farm, a veteran’s reflection on service and healing, a student discovering their town’s untold history, these are the voices that make our state vibrant and resilient. Through your support, these stories come to life in museum exhibits, community conversations, festivals, films, and classrooms that inspire understanding and spark connection.

But today, the humanities in South Carolina face new challenges. With the loss of federal support, many communities risk losing the opportunities to share, listen, and learn from one another. Yet, your gift can change that.

Every contribution sustains the people, programs, and conversations that help South Carolinians understand one another; past, present, and future. Your generosity ensures that the voices of our elders, our artists, our educators, and our young dreamers continue to be heard.

Together, we can keep South Carolina’s stories alive through stories that strengthen us all.
