Inside ETV Endowment

The holidays are fast approaching, and before our lives get wrapped up in holiday activities, I want to take a moment to share my gratitude.

SCETV and the ETV Endowment of South Carolina represent an extraordinary 41-year public-private partnership that has enabled SCETV and SC Public Radio to produce and present programs for state-wide, national and international broadcast.

As part of the ETV Endowment’s commemoration of National Estate Planning Awareness Week, we are providing resources to help you work on your personal plans.

 While most of us don’t live the noble lifestyle of Lord and Lady Grantham, there is still much we can learn from the Crawleys.

Have you been intending to make a will, but you are unsure how to get started? Do think you don’t have enough assets to merit making a will?

The ETV Endowment successfully completed the One State, Many Voices: Sharing South Carolina’s Stories campaign. Thanks to you and many other generous donors across the state, we have met our $1.6 million goal. The Endowment’s capacity to support the production of local, original content on South Carolina ETV and South Carolina Public Radio has been doubled!

As fall begins and kids are back in school, I think about the role SCETV and SC Public radio play in educating, informing and entertaining our viewers.

 

“Country music comes from right in here…this heart and soul that we all have,” says Garth Brooks. “You can dance to it, you can cry to it,” adds Dolly Parton. Country music reflects all of us.

Director Ken Burns presents Country Music, a multi-episode series that explores country music’s roots, how it evolved and the trailblazers who created and shaped it. Longtime collaborators, Dayton Duncan is writer/producer, and Julie Dunfey is producer.
