| Restrictions | The charter school growth fund identifies the country's best nonprofit public charter schools, funds their expansion, and helps to increase their impact. We provide funding and support to a national community of school leaders who seek to grow and serve more students, whether they are expanding from one to two schools, or building a network of many schools. The charter schools and networks we support typically operate in underserved communities with limited access to high-quality schools. We focus on geographic areas supportive of further expansion of high-quality charter schools. |
