Charter School Growth Fund

Charter School Growth Fund identifies leading public charter schools and provides capital to facilitate their expansion. The organization employs a philanthropic investment model, focusing on schools demonstrating high performance and strong potential for impact, enabling them to replicate successful educational approaches and serve more students.

The organization was established in 2005 by founders John Walton and Don Fisher. Their foundational insight was the critical need to support nascent but promising charter school models, providing them with the necessary financial resources and strategic guidance to grow beyond initial pilot phases and significantly extend their reach.

Public charter schools and their entrepreneurial leaders constitute the primary beneficiaries of the fund's work. Charter School Growth Fund envisions a landscape where high-quality charter education is accessible to a wider student population, aiming to amplify the impact of effective educational practices across the nation by fostering the sustained growth of proven models.
