Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

The ETV Endowment of South Carolina is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 1977 that provides funding for programming broadcast on South Carolina ETV, South Carolina Public Radio and other public media stations.

  • PROGRAM PURCHASE - Through annual membership contributions, the ETV Endowment of South Carolina supports programs broadcast by SCETV, SC Public Radio and other public media stations. The Endowment's 46,500 donors made nearly 277,000 individual gifts in FY25. These membership funds are used to purchase programming seen on 11 television stations broadcasting four television channels and heard on nine radio stations broadcasting two programming streams throughout the state. Funding for the programming that is broadcast 24 hours per day, seven days per week, including the national PBS and NPR schedules, is provided by members of the Endowment. The ETV Endowment is proud to serve all South Carolinians, without regard to their ability to pay for the many programs offered.

    Expenses $5,936,630 · Revenue $790,394

  • PROGRAM PRODUCTION - Since its founding in 1977, the ETV Endowment has managed more than $140 million in restricted grants from corporations, foundations and individuals as well as governmental entities. The Endowment uses these funds in accordance with grant restrictions to produce and/or present programs for distribution on a national, regional or state level. SCETV, SC Public Radio and the ETV Endowment also contribute significant in-kind contributions to these programs to ensure completion and distribution. Such programs include television, radio and non-broadcast educational programs.

    Expenses $4,449,933 · Grants $2,290,227

  • MEMBER SERVICES - For 47 years, the ETV Endowment family of donors, numbering 46,500, has provided membership contributions to sustain the program purchase and production of television and radio programming. Since the Endowment's inception in 1977, our Endowment donors have contributed nearly $169 million in unrestricted membership funds. Every member of the Endowment is offered a monthly SCENE program guide, which highlights the offerings on each of SCETV's four television channels and two radio streams. The Endowment also sends members membership decals for their vehicles each year so others may know of their support of public media in South Carolina. Lastly, the Endowment mailed more than 3,238 appreciation gifts to our donors in FY25. Those gifts included DVDs, books and tickets to performances, all of which are associated with ETV and SC Public Radio's programming and extend the educational outreach component of SCETV.

    Expenses $363,298

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. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. 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.

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
