About Us

There are as many ideas about how to make the world a better place as there are people living in that world. Renaissance 21 is a 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to developing such altruistic ideas into nonprofit programs.

MISSION: To provide education, training, and resources to changemakers to develop their ideas into nonprofit programs. 

VISION: A universal cultural movement that nurtures and develops a passion for helping others.
