The Spero Society—named in tribute to South Carolina’s aspiring state motto— recognizes individuals who contribute $1,000 or more annually to Palmetto Promise Institute.
Your commitment helps position the Palmetto State for a brighter, more prosperous future that benefits all South Carolinians. As a Spero Society member, you join other modern-day patriots who care deeply about the direction of our state – and are investing in its future.
From promoting affordable energy and empowering patients in their healthcare decisions, to expanding educational opportunities for students and advocating for a fairer tax system and responsible state budget, your investment powers our work.
As our most generous and loyal supporters, Spero Society members enjoy a host of benefits, including access to unique events and opportunities to learn first-hand what we are doing from Palmetto Promise Institute leadership.
We also extend a special invitation for individuals under 40-years-old to support Palmetto Promise Institute. The Edward Rutledge Society, named in honor of the youngest signer of the Declaration of Independence, South Carolinian Edward Rutledge, recognizes the next generation of Palmetto State leadership. For an annual contribution of $500 or more you will receive recognition at the Sustainer Level of the Spero Society.
If you are interested in leaving a legacy of freedom and prosperity in the Palmetto State through your will and estate plans, we invite you to learn more about the Promise Legacy Society.
