This program provides grants to public and private nonprofit entities to improve charter schools’ ability to access affordable financing for acquiring, constructing, or renovating school facilities. Funds are used to enhance credit, making it easier for charter schools to secure loans and attract private-sector investment. The program aims to bridge funding gaps for charter schools that struggle to finance infrastructure projects. Recipients must demonstrate innovative methods for improving access to capital and show how they will leverage federal funds to increase available financing. Since 2001, this program has helped charter schools across the U.S. obtain the facilities they need to operate effectively.
