Major Gift Officer
  • State of South Carolina
  • Richland, SC FULL_TIME
  • Since the SC State Museum opened its doors in 1988, we have welcomed over five million visitors and hosted generations of students from across the state. We have fostered community and innovation, inspired meaningful connections, and embraced challenges as they came.  As steward of the state’s collections of over 1.1 million history, art, natural history, and technology objects, we are honored to hold the public’s trust. After decades of generous support and thoughtful leadership, we are now preparing to meet a new era – with renewed expectations from our visitors, staff, volunteers, fellow cultural institutions, and the broader community to be a place of welcome, accessibility, learning, innovation, and inspiration.  
    To be successful in this work, we are “Reimagining the Experience,” continuing the work that began in 2014 with a major renovation project that added 75,000 square feet of public space, including a planetarium, observatory, 4D theater, and educational classrooms.  We are now poised to become an even more impactful educational resource for teachers, students, and the public across our State. Our Reimagine the Experience project will redevelop and renew over 150,000 square feet of immersive exhibitions, hands-on education spaces and state-of-the-art collection storage and research facilities.  
    When completed, this $75 million dollar project is projected to increase museum visitation by 35% over pre-Covid annual visitation.   While increased visitation from the renovation project will help drive SCSM’s revenue potential, achieving sustainability requires continued support from the state, which includes a significant increase in staffing to fulfill the operational needs of the renovation.   To this end, it is imperative that SCSM attract and retain top talent.

One of Columbia's more prominent geographical features is its fall line, the boundary between the upland Piedmont region and the Atlantic Coastal Plain, across which rivers drop as falls or rapids. Columbia grew up at the fall line of the Congaree River, which is formed by the convergence of the Broad River and the Saluda River. The Congaree was the farthest inland point of river navigation. The energy of falling water also powered Columbia's early mills. The city has capitalized on this location which includes three rivers by christening itself "The Columbia Riverbanks Region". Columbia is lo...
