Renaissance Charitable Foundation Inc
Renaissance Charitable Foundation Inc (Indiana) receives grants from 239 organizations whose IRS filings report $1,881,790,470 to it, the largest being BNY MELLON CHARITABLE GIFT FUND ($621,117,637). 75 of them have funded it in more than one year, and 93% of the money arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors rather than from an institution directly. Renaissance Charitable Foundation Inc administers funds for other donors, so those contributions arrive into funds it holds rather than supporting a program it runs itself.
Hosts funds for others
Renaissance Charitable Foundation Inc administers funds on behalf of other donors. The grants recorded as coming in are contributions into those funds, so they count custody rather than support for a programRenaissance Charitable Foundation Inc runs itself. This page therefore states the flows and does not draw the comparisons it would draw for an operating charity: concentration, funder retention, grant dependency and the peer field are all left out, because each of them would read a vehicle as if it were a program.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 36 funders to 71 funders, grant income rose $33M → $166M.
107 of 239 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 93% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
Left out of every figure on this page: $2.0M from one payer (an institutional transfer, not a grant programme, largest Natasha Foundation Inc). These are real filings, and they are not money Renaissance Charitable Foundation Inc raised.
From the IRS filings of Renaissance Charitable Foundation Inc’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 239 funders by total. Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Where its funders are
93% of Renaissance Charitable Foundation Inc's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $134M that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from funders outside Indiana, across 31 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1.7B arriving through sponsors registered in 29 statesis excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
