These are our values

MISSION

Our mission is to persuasively present biblical principles in the centers of influence on issues affecting the family through research, communication, and networking.

VISION

Our vision is to see a South Carolina where God is honored, religious freedom flourishes, families thrive and life is cherished.

VALUES

Palmetto Family Alliance focuses on seven core areas as they relate to the family. Each value is represented by a star in our logo. Below are our values.



FAITH

We believe that we are not born by chance and time, but by the direct act of God. Religious liberty should be protected by law and vibrant churches should be encouraged.



MARRIAGE

We believe that social fabric is only as strong as the bond between its husbands and wives. Children raised in homes where parents enjoy a strong marriage are more likely to be successful.



PARENTING

We believe that mothers and fathers must build character in their children to see that their values live on. Parenting should be active, intentional, and nurturing.



EDUCATION

We believe that learning is fundamental to success in life and that all schools – public, private, and home – should be driven by the wishes and active involvement of parents.



STEWARDSHIP

We believe that the earth and its fullness are a sacred trust. Natural, economic and family resources should be cherished as a gift from God.



COMMERCE

We believe that private enterprise, not government, is the engine of economic progress. Free enterprise, entrepreneurship and hard work should be taught and celebrated.



CULTURE

We believe that just like they deserve clean air and clean water, families also deserve a clean society that treasures life, truth, justice and purity.

ACT ON THESE ISSUES

HISTORY

Palmetto Family Alliance began its life a Legacy Alliance Foundation, a 501(c)(4) organization founded to fight the expansion of video poker. When Legacy Alliance accomplished its goal of shutting down 33,000 video gambling machines under the leadership of Executive Director Larry Huff, the name was changed to Palmetto Family Alliance and became governed by the board of Palmetto Family Council.

The addition of the 501(c)(4) “action” organization Palmetto Family Alliance has allowed the Palmetto Family brand to engage in both education and public policy activism. With the Alliance as a tool in the toolbox, Palmetto Family can take positions on legislation and call out legislators by name for good and bad public service.

FINANCIAL POLICY
