Renaissance Heights Foundation (RHF) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit best known as the Community Quarterback revitalizing a 200-acre site in 76105-zip code, located in the southeast portion of Fort Worth, Texas. Before the 2006 purchase by Fort Worth Mason Heights, this site was home to the Masonic Home and School of Texas (a home for widows and orphans). RHF represents a bold collaboration and a holistic approach to neighborhood redevelopment. To date, over $250 million has been invested into infrastructure with another $100+ million of planned development. Our work has focused on affordable housing options, a cradle-to-career education pipeline, and robust community health and wellness programs.
Our goal is to provide economic empowerment opportunities while promoting the ideals of equity, improved health for youth and families, and upward mobility channels. Your generosity will allow RHF to continue to build capacity to fully implement the master infrastructure development plan and to better engage the community and provide the resources and support they need to thrive.
Our success depends on a strong “quarterback” organization, Renaissance Heights Foundation, to work with and coordinate the collective efforts of our partners which include: Purpose Built Communities, Columbia Residential, Housing Channel, YMCA of Metropolitan Fort Worth, Cook Children’s, ACH Child and Family Services, Uplift Education, Childcare Associates Early Learning and Texas Wesleyan University. These partners provide the comprehensive housing, health, wellness, and educational needs to the residents of our community. The proximity to these resources reinforces the foundation’s commitment to community well-being and strengthens the vision for a thriving, connected neighborhood.
To empower Renaissance Heights residents by identifying and eliminating barriers to well-being and success through community partnership.
We work to align partners and resources from all sectors—including neighborhood residents—and set strategy for the overall effort based on the community’s vision. RHF works with our partners to encourage collaboration, establish shared metrics, and bring together knowledgeable allies and financial resources – for the benefit of neighborhood residents.
Your donation will be used for general operations that support the education, community revitalization and program needs of residents who call Renaissance Heights home. Your support will foster transformative and lasting change for the residents of Southeast Fort Worth.
Racial equity, health outcomes, and economic mobility are central to our approach and that of our Network.
Tackling such complex, deeply-rooted issues as intergenerational poverty, unsafe environments, high crime, and failing schools presents many challenges. Our solution—and the basis for the Purpose Built Communities model—is a coordinated holistic approach based on quality and focused on sustainability.
