The Humanities CouncilSC has a 42-year continuous and effective approach to documenting, preserving, and shedding light on the individual and collective achievements and significant events that have contributed to the social and cultural evolution of the Palmetto State. The staff and Board of Directors of The Humanities CouncilSC believe that the voices and stories of every South Carolinian represent a precious resource from which to learn important lessons about who we are, where we have come from, and also to guide us as we shape our future. The Council’s sponsored programs, exhibits, and documentaries present a detailed, inclusive story about the people of South Carolina. 2 LETTER FROM THE CHAIR

Greetings from The Humanities CouncilSC,

One of the staples of corporate advertising in the 1980s and 1990s was BASF’s long-running series of television commercials that featured the memorable slogan: “We don’t make a lot of the products you buy. We make a lot of the products you buy better.” These commercials introduced a Business-to-Business marketer and positioned it as one that played an important, if unspecified, role in enhancing countless products, but most consumers were still unsure as to the “ingredient” offerings of the company. I would argue that the role of The Humanities CouncilSC is not unlike that of the chemical company. Most citizens of our state are largely unfamiliar with our very meaningful role to support and enhance hundreds of thoughtful and engaging endeavors each year; consequently, they are unaware of the profound difference that we make.

Fifty years ago, Congress created a new federal agency, the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), whose mission was to advance history, literature, philosophy, and related areas of study. Congress had also previously created the National Science Foundation for the advancement of the sciences. At that time, Congress and President Lyndon B. Johnson believed that both the arts and the sciences were necessary if our nation was to be enlightened and self-governed. Many of those citizens who had fought in WWII realized that knowing our history Festival has recently featured the history and heritage and not forgetting the sacrifices made for our progress of two vibrant towns: Walterboro in 2014 and Camden was essential to the public well-being. in 2015; in 2016, the festival will return to Beaufort. More than 125 people attended the annual Governor’s Forty-two years ago, The Humanities CouncilSC was born Awards in the Humanities luncheon in 2014, honoring as the state-based nonprofit program of NEH.

Annual audits reflect watched documentary films, purchased and read books, a healthy financial picture. and participated in countless ways, we know there is a demand for the public humanities in South Carolina. The dedicated Board of Directors and staff continue to seek ways to make the humanities a vital part of our lives. While science unlocks numerous doors to knowledge, Recently, a major decision was made to discontinue security and success, the humanities address our spirit. the SCBook Festival in its present form and to plan and We talk about justice, freedom, dignity and virtue; by implement new literary initiatives that would encompass studying the best of what has been said, written, or the state year-round.

The procedures selected depend on the auditor ‘s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial South Carolina statements.
