The Spero Society
Invest Annually. Advance the Freedom Agenda.
The Spero Society, named in tribute to South Carolina’s aspiring state motto, “Dum Spiro Spero, which means “while I breathe, I hope,” recognizes individuals who invest $1,000 or more annually to power Palmetto Promise Institute’s Freedom Agenda.
This is more than membership. It is leadership.
Spero Society members are principled investors who believe South Carolina’s best days are ahead, and who are willing to help shape that future. Your annual investment fuels serious, solutions-driven policy work that expands opportunity and protects liberty across our state.
From advancing education freedom for every child, to promoting affordable and reliable energy, expanding patient choice in health care, legal reforms, and fighting for a fair, competitive tax system and responsible state budgeting, your support drives policy victories that strengthen families, empower workers, and unleash economic growth.
As a Spero Society member, you join a select group of modern-day patriots committed to ensuring that South Carolina leads with freedom, innovation, and courage. Members receive exclusive briefings, leadership access, and invitations to special events, but most importantly, you gain the opportunity to help set the course for our state’s future.
When you invest through the Spero Society, you are not simply giving, you are advancing South Carolina’s Freedom Agenda.
Legacy Giving
Leave a Legacy of Freedom for Generations
The most powerful investments are those that outlive us.
Through Legacy Giving, you can permanently advance the principles of freedom, responsibility, and opportunity that define South Carolina’s future. By including Palmetto Promise Institute in your will or estate plans, through a simple bequest, life insurance policy, retirement account designation, or other planned giving vehicle, you help ensure that the Freedom Agenda continues long after today’s debates are settled.
Legacy Giving is about more than estate planning. It is about stewardship, protecting the ideas and policies that will shape our children’s education, our families’ prosperity, and our state’s competitiveness for decades to come.
As Senator Jim DeMint, Founding Chairman, reminds us:
“If you want to unlock South Carolina’s fullest potential, you have a home at Palmetto Promise, South Carolina’s premier research and policy organization. Our top priorities are excellent education for our children, affordable energy and health care for our families, and a thriving economy for our workers. Partnering together with you and concerned citizens throughout the state, we can make these goals, these promises, a reality today and leave a powerful legacy of freedom, hope and opportunity for generations to come.”
Legacy Giving ensures that those promises endure, and that the cause of freedom in South Carolina continues to advance well beyond our own lifetimes. We would be honored to sit down with you to learn more about your passion for supporting Palmetto Promise Institute and to explore how your legacy gift can secure and strengthen the freedoms we cherish for generations to come. Your commitment today will help ensure that the Freedom Agenda continues long after us, shaping a more prosperous, opportunity-filled South Carolina for the future.
