Donate plea

The Renaissance Society is proud to award seven scholarships in 2026, bringing our total support to 142 scholarships and $332,000 for Sacramento State students since 1993.

To honor student privacy and support clear communication, RS introduced a formal consent form in 2025, developed in partnership with the Sacramento State Scholarship Team. Six of this year’s seven scholarship recipients have generously chosen to share their stories, while one recipient has chosen to remain anonymous.

The Scholarship Committee is honored to work alongside dedicated RS members, the Resource Development Committee, and our Sacramento State partners to make these scholarships possible. This year, we received 120 eligible applications — a strong reminder of the continuing need for student support and the value of this program.

Support the ASI Food Pantry

Many Renaissance Society members generously support the ASI Food Pantry with donations of money and food. The pantry serves Sacramento State students facing food insecurity.

The Golden Plate Award is given by the ASI Food Pantry to the campus group that contributes the most Thanksgiving food baskets during its annual holiday food drive. The Renaissance Society has proudly earned the coveted Golden Plate Award four times.

Renaissance members give in several ways:

  • Cash and check donations are regularly collected during First Friday seminars on campus by passing around envelopes.
  • Members may also give online through the ASI Food Pantry donation page or donate directly at the Food Pantry office in the Student Union.
  • Renaissance members also contribute to the annual Thanksgiving special food drive.

The Renaissance Board also invites members to help students by making a donation to the Student Emergency Fund, which helps students with immediate financial crises.
