The SC Governor's School for the Arts and Humanities Foundation is the 501(c)3 non-profit organization that provides financial and program support for the SC Governor's School for the Arts and Humanities. 

Since 1985, the Governor's School Foundation has partnered with the school, raising public and private donations to help fuel the school’s mission. This is done by improving access for students who need financial assistance, investing in the school’s efforts to provide arts education in underserved counties, and funding special initiatives. Thanks to this annual support, the Governor's School remains at the forefront of providing excellent public arts education to our state.

Generous donors help the Governor's School Foundation bridge the gap between state funding and the unique needs of a premier public arts school, enhancing educational, professional, and artistic opportunities for students and teachers across the state.

The Foundation relies on the generosity of donors to help support the Governor’s School in providing an exemplary public arts education to students across South Carolina. Become a member of the Govie Community today!

I was on financial aid at the school, so I'm thankful to have been given the opportunity to study my passion in such an inspiring environment. The Governor's School has given me hope that I can pursue my art as a future. This school saved me and taught me that I can break any barrier holding me back.

Thank you from the bottom from heart for the funding of the annual trip to Chicago for college auditions in the drama department. It means a lot to me to have the help that you all provide. If it weren’t for you, it would have been hard to afford the cost for the trip. Thank you thank you thank you! This trip was an unforgettable experience."

Thank you so much for your contribution! You have given an opportunity to a student. That doesn’t and won’t go unnoticed.

The Governors’ School has been a “life-saving” experience. For in the years before their time there, their passion for art was dying, and without this “way out”, I can’t say what would have happened. Going into senior year being able to look ahead towards college without as much of a burden on our finances may possibly open even more doors. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”

Without your help, I would not be here. The experiences I have had have been life-changing/life reinventing. Please continue to bless others with your generosity so that someone else may thrive, grow, and learn to love art more.
