Welcome

Welcome to the National Resource Center on Charter School Finance and Governance! We are here to support you—state policymakers, charter school authorizers, and charter school operators—in creating successful and sustainable charter schools through effective finance and governance. The National Resource Center helps you address these issues by providing the following:

a resource clearinghouse that includes links to research reports, articles, tools and toolkits, and charter organizations;
profiles of promising practices utilizing successful finance and governance strategies; and
a catalog of over 100 federal funding sources that can help you access a wide variety of federal funding grants.

We welcome your feedback on this site!
