The Charter School Growth Fund is a philanthropic fund dedicated to identifying the nation’s best public charter schools, funding their expansion, and helping to increase their impact. CSGF has supported a portfolio of charter school networks that include more than 50 organizations, which operate 500+ schools and serve more than 250,000 students. The firm operates with the same strategies, discipline, and focus of a venture capital firm by awarding multi-year grants and low-interest loans to talented education entrepreneurs building networks of high-quality charter schools that enroll traditionally under-served students.
