The Campaign for Renaissance
To ensure that Renaissance is able to deliver the highest quality housing and services to our participants now and throughout our fourth decade of service, we have launched The Campaign for Renaissance. This $1 million fundraising effort will enable Renaissance to make critical investments in the organization’s people, programs, technology, and sustainability.
Renaissance is at a critical juncture. As our programming has grown rapidly, it will be important to ensure that we have sufficient unrestricted funds to provide stability to the organization and support capacity-building investments that public funds are unable to fully support.
We invite you to join us in strengthening Renaissance’s capacity to prevent and end homelessness for thousands of people in crisis each year. To learn more, please contact John W. Pfeiffer, Chief Philanthropy Officer at jpfeiffer@rssichicago.org or 312-929-3482.
