Our finance team works with impact-minded investors to help schools spend less on fees and interest, so they can dedicate more resources to the classroom.
For nearly twenty years, our team has created custom financial solutions to meet each charter school’s unique needs. We work with your team to craft the best terms and rates for your school, whether you are financing a new construction project, purchasing or refinancing your existing facility, or need an operational loan to cover your needs while you await your bond. Our expertise is charter schools, and we are here to guide you to the best solution for your school.
We loan money to charter schools directly to create customized solutions for each charter school’s particular financing needs.
Bridge loans are tools to ensure charter school operators experience minimal impact when there are pauses or fluctuations in financial markets, or construction delays.

Loan terms are from 3-25 years, and we help navigate New Market Tax Credits, USDA Loans, and other Grant Funding with the goal of securing the best possible terms and rates for charter schools.
Charter Schools may need a hand covering short-term expenses while markets and processes stabilize. As the leader in this space, we are positioned to execute quickly and effectively for charter schools across the country.
Our Financial Advisor team is dedicated to creating the best possible financial solutions for charter schools.
Owning your own facility gives your organization long-term stability and security. When you can dedicate less dollars towards rent, fees, and interest, you have more dollars to elevate the educational experience for students.
Charter schools often need support when venturing into new financial territory, like renting or purchasing a school facility.
As a non-profit organization with an almost 20-year history and a well-deserved reputation for integrity and financial stability, we can provide credit enhancements and loan guarantees for charter schools. Our support helps charter schools secure better rates and terms, so they can secure an affordable facility to launch or expand their educational programs.
