Mission and programs · 2024

• DURING FY 2025, SC HUMANITIES INCREASED PUBLIC UNDERSTANDING OF THE HUMANITIES BY FUNDING, PROMOTING, AND COORDINATING VARIOUS EXHIBITS, DOCUMENTARIES, DISCUSSION FORUMS, RESEARCH, PLANNING, WORKSHOPS, DRAMATIZATIONS, LECTURES, AND EVENTS THAT PERTAIN TO THE HUMANITIES. SPECIFICALLY, 34 GRANTS TOTALING 176,595 WERE AWARDED. THROUGH THE SPEAKERS BUREAU PROGRAM, 32 OF THE STATE'S FINEST SCHOLARS GAVE 95 PRESENTATIONS TO NONPROFITS AND PUBLIC AGENCIES AROUND SOUTH CAROLINA, SHARING THEIR KNOWLEDGE AND INTEREST IN THE HUMANITIES. IN ADDITION, SC HUMANITIES CONTINUED THE TOUR OF THE TRAVELING SMITHSONIAN EXHIBIT "SPARK PLACES OF INNOVATION," WHICH TRAVELED TO 3 COMMUNITIES BETWEEN NOVEMBER 2024 AND MARCH 2025, REACHING 6,155 PEOPLE. WE ALSO SPONSORED OUR ANNUAL SOUTH CAROLINA HUMANITIES FESTIVAL IN LANCASTER AND THE ANNUAL SOUTH CAROLINA AWARDS IN THE HUMANITIES, HONORING 6 INCREDIBLE HUMANISTS. WE LAUNCHED THE "REVOLUTIONARY PERSPECTIVES SPEAKERS SERIES" TO HIGHLIGHT THE CRUCIAL, YET OFTEN-OVERLOOKED ROLES SOUTH CAROLINIANS PLAYED IN THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION. TOGETHER, THESE ACTIVITIES REACHED 36 COUNTIES, HIGHLIGHTED THE IMPORTANCE OF HUMANITIES AND CULTURE IN SOUTH CAROLINA, AND BROUGHT PEOPLE TOGETHER IN CONVERSATION AND CELEBRATION.

As filed on the 2024 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

Officers and directors · 2024

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

The first 25 listed. Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.
