Who We Are

As a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, RSI is supported by donors who receive a dollar-for-dollar state tax credit. Individuals or couples may donate 100% of their state tax liability up to $100,000 Corporations may donate 100% of their tax liability with no maximum limit.
RSI has provided $3.2 Million dollars in scholarships to 158 students since 2018. Twenty-one Renaissance Scholars have graduated from high school. All have gone on to competitive colleges and services programs such as Brandeis University, Clemson University, University of Notre Dame, Berea College, UAB and Bridges for Peace in Israel. Our scholars have changed the trajectories of their lives thanks to the generosity of our donors.
