About the ETV Endowment

Founded in 1977, the ETV Endowment of South Carolina is a public charity that exists to support the mission of ETV and ETV Radio.

We hope you join our family of tens of thousands of enthusiastic fans of public television and radio in three states supporting ETV and Radio through membership in the ETV Endowment.

State government provides the infrastructure, and grants also play a pivotal role. But membership dollars raised from contributions to the ETV Endowment pay for the programming you can't see or hear anywhere else except ETV and Radio.

Through partnerships with major foundations and corporations combined with state funds and membership monies, the ETV Endowment has established a strong public-private sector alliance. This enables South Carolina to be among the major producers for public broadcasting, to be a designated satellite uplink for instructional programming to the schools of the nation, and to provide more than $2 million in program and production services.

We encourage you to join our ETV Endowment family. While basic membership is only $36, we offer various suggested levels of giving, one of which we hope is right for you.

Benefits of membership are many. For instance, all members receive a subscription to our member's magazine, the SCENE. Another tangible benefit (for those donating at least $100) is our ETV Endowment MemberCard.

We couldn't do without the support of our members! Thank you!
