Support Renaissance

What’s the easiest way to underwrite our mission?

Angel Fund

The Angel Fund was founded in 1996 by School Aides Kalliope Radman and Francine Smith after they recognized that some families needed a little extra help to cover school trips, prom, senior dues, and other activities.

Over the years, the fund has expanded to support families facing unexpected hardships such as serious illness or the death of a parent, house fires, food insecurity due to job loss and more.
From the beginning, the mission of the Angel Fund has remained the same, to support our students and their families in whatever way we can, ensuring no child misses out because of financial challenges.

Friends of Renaissance

ABOUT F.O.R. – TRCS is happy to introduce you to the Friends of Renaissance, a non-profit organization whose sole purpose is to support both Renaissance schools through fundraising initiatives. The small volunteer board consists of staff members, parents and alumni who oversee all of the campaigns that raise funds for various programs, as well as planning events and new campaigns as needs arise. Any online donations you make will be payable to “Friends of Renaissance” (no longer to Renaissance Charter School or TRCS) and your receipts will be reflected as such. We guarantee your donation will go to support the program/s of your choice. Anyone interested in joining the board or volunteering on a committee can contact Peggy Heeney (peggyheeney@rencharter.org).

Safer, better-educated communities are great for business; they improve the quality of life for everyone. Renaissance’s hard-working, high-achieving students strive to make that happen and with your help, that goal is closer to being a reality.

Corporations, family foundations, or anyone interested in supporting Renaissance should please contact TRCS’s Director of Communications and Development, Meredith Hinshaw-Chaney, at 646-789-5142.
