Renaissance94 (Ren94), a global social impact consultancy, was launched in 2024 with a mission to amplify the voices of tomorrow and empower visionaries who are building a climate-ready world. Led by distinguished environmentalist and civil rights advocate Daniel Blackman, Ren94 advises corporations, nonprofits, philanthropists, and public figures on strategy, storytelling, and community engagement. The organization connects cross-sector leaders to innovative initiatives driving real and lasting change for the planet and humanity. Ren94’s name, inspired by the “Nine Dots Four Lines” puzzle, reflects its commitment to transcending boundaries and embracing unconventional solutions to complex global challenges.
Blackman, a former Presidential Appointee and EPA Regional Administrator, is a respected statesman who seamlessly integrates policy, sports, entertainment, and cultural influence to redefine the creative economy and philanthropy. His work, spanning film production, narrative storytelling, and climate initiatives, catalyzes social change. Ren94, operating under the fiscal sponsorship of The Ray, collaborates across industries, connecting leaders from sports and entertainment with the philanthropic community for e, impact initiatives, and strategic media campaigns.
In its inaugural year, Ren94 has already made significant strides. The organization partnered with Support + Feed and Billie Eilish for the North American debut of “OVERHEATED,” a star-powered climate event held at State Farm Arena in Atlanta. This impactful event, featuring prominent climate activists and cultural leaders, showcased Ren94’s ability to convene diverse voices and create a platform for real solutions. Ren94’s successful engagements at events like the Indy 500, Green Sports Summit, Climate Week NYC, and Goldman Sachs’ Garland Summit further demonstrate its growing influence in the climate action space.
