Charter School Growth Fund

About The Fund

Charter School Growth Fund is a venture capital fund focused on transforming K-12 education. Specializing in equity investments within educational technology and services, they invest in high-performing charter school networks that offer high-quality educational options for underserved students. Based in Broomfield, Colorado and founded in 2005, the fund uses philanthropic capital to expand the reach and impact of the nation's top charter school operators, prioritizing the educational needs of low-income and minority students. With $250 million in assets under management, Charter School Growth Fund specializes in seed, startup, and early-stage investments, and it operates with the mission to grow the nation's best public charter schools. The fund identifies the country's best public charter schools, provides funding for their expansion, and supports initiatives to maximize their impact on communities and students. Their investment strategies focus on nurturing the entrepreneurial spirit of charter school leaders, funding innovative ideas that contribute to the evolution of public education, and building the capacities of charter schools in advocacy, policy, communication, facilities, and finance. Over the past 15 years, Charter School Growth Fund has played a key role in increasing the number of students served by CSGF-supported schools, which now surpass the student population of the district schools in Los Angeles Unified, the nation's second-largest school district. They are also committed to catalyzing innovation in various educational areas, including teacher talent development, early literacy, and post-secondary achievements. Their overarching goal is to serve over a million students by 2030, fostering a diverse group of educational entrepreneurs capable of founding and expanding schools that positively influence students' futures and transform communities.
