Charter schools often struggle to find safe, affordable facilities—but there are a variety of funding options available to help secure your dream school site. From tax-exempt bonds and New Markets Tax Credits to construction loans, as well as state funded programs, each avenue has particular benefits and requirements. This session will break down these financing options, helping you identify the best fit for your school’s needs. Learn how to navigate eligibility criteria, make strategic funding decisions, and kickstart your financing journey.
CSDC has supported California charter school leaders and the charter school movement for more than 30 years in developing best practices, educational programs, legislative analysis, and policy advocacy, with opportunities for collaboration and creativity.
