Our Approach
Our Approach
I want all of our students to develop strong personalities and identities and to have the tenacity to reach their ultimate goals, however they may define them.Charlene Reid, Founder & Co-CEO, Excellence Community Schools
Our goal is to serve over one million students by 2030.
We are investing in a diverse group of talented education entrepreneurs who have the power to create and grow high-quality public charter schools that change students’ futures and transform communities.
Over the last 15 years, our portfolio has become the primary engine of new public charter school growth in the country. Collectively, CSGF-supported schools currently serve over 665,000 students–more than the number of students who attend district schools within Los Angeles Unified, the nation’s second largest school district.
Charter school leaders with bold ideas are developing innovative ways to improve educational experiences for students, families, and teachers alike. We invest in solutions that are catalyzing change across key areas such as teacher talent, early literacy, and post-secondary success.
We are helping charter school leaders strengthen their policy, communications, and advocacy strategies so they can successfully navigate challenges and share their stories of impact. We are also helping our portfolio build capacity in facilities and finance, ensuring organizational health and sustainability.
