Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

Renaissance's mission is to transform lives and communities through entrepreneurship.

Activities or mission (Part I)

Renaissance Entrepreneurship Center ("Renaissance") means business. For 40 years, Renaissance has used the power of entrepreneurship to help people facing systemic barriers to economic mobility achieve financial self-sufficiency through entrepreneurship. Renaissance's work changes lives by helping people take ownership of their futures. Locally focused, community-driven, and highly personalized, Renaissance has a long working history in each distinct community it serves, and a compassionate understanding of the needs, skills, challenges, and dreams each individual brings to the table. Renaissance engages motivated entrepreneurs wherever their skills and aspirations meet. Many come from communities that lack small business investment, educational resources, and entrepreneurial histories.

  • Renaissance Peninsula: In 2024, Renaissance Peninsula, which includes San Mateo, Santa Clara, and Unincorporated Alameda Counties, served 898 individuals, 73% of whom were lower-income. Our services included a mixture of online and in-person training. Our online training continues to be highly effective for clients who are skilled in using technology and have appropriate access to technology. We trained in technology basics (how to use Zoom, email, Google Classroom) and provided Chromebooks to individuals who rely solely on their phones for internet access. 323 businesses were served, and businesses received $403K in business capital.

    Expenses $3,068,944 · Revenue $37,020

  • Renaissance SoMa (South of Market San Francisco) was our largest San Francisco hub for entrepreneurs and is home to the Women's Business Center (WBC) in partnership with the USSBA. In 2024, SoMa and the WBC served 442 small businesses. Services included 1,239 hours of one-on-one advising, 172 workshops and courses on business planning, financial management, bookkeeping, operations, and management, with specialized trainings for starting a food business, launching a childcare business, and navigating contracting and procurement. We also offered sessions in digital marketing, e-commerce, AI, technology integration, and access to capital. Our low-to-no-cost programming, along with events such as Women Mean Business, Coffee and Community, and marketplaces, connected business owners with new customers and collaborators.

    Expenses $1,291,403 · Revenue $267,091

  • Renaissance East Bay provided small business training, one-on-one consulting, and access to capital, networks and other resources to traditionally underserved individuals in Alameda and Contra Costa counties with an emphasis on the cities of Richmond, Antioch, Oakland and Pittsburg. We engaged motivated emerging and established entrepreneurs from communities that lack small business investment, educational resources, and entrepreneurial histories, and face discrimination by race, gender, sexual orientation, economic class, or past incarceration. Our clients are 93% very-low-to-moderate income.

    Expenses $805,785 · Revenue $1,000

  • Renaissance Bayview: In 2024, Renaissance continued to provide virtual and in-person business support services to aspiring and emerging entrepreneurs in Bayview Hunters Point, one of the most marginalized and under-resourced communities in the San Francisco Bay Area. Through our Contractors Initiative, Renaissance Bayview worked intensively with small construction businesses, delivering training and mentoring support, while helping small business owners secure contracts that created quality jobs for residents in the community. We also provided business support services to brick-and-mortar retail businesses throughout the city with a primary focus on the communities of Fillmore, Visitacion Valley and Bayview Hunters Point.

    Expenses $641,047 · Grants $12,000 · Revenue $46,594

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Grants received

The 10 largest by cash amount. The API serves every itemized grant.

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
