Charter Schools Development Corporation (CSDC)

CSDC, a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation and Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI), promotes innovation and excellence in education by financing and developing facilities for great public charter schools nationally. As the only CDFI in the country focused exclusively on the facility and financing needs of charter school organizations, CSDC helps charter school entrepreneurs and leaders finance, build, expand and replicate their school models, turning educational visions into reality, with the goal of ultimately improving student achievement by increasing school choice and catalyzing competition within the American K-12 public education system.

CSDC has a special focus on new schools, schools serving predominately low income students, and schools in communities with poor performing traditional schools.  Whether it be a direct loan, credit enhancement (lease or loan guaranty), or a complete turnkey facility, built-to-suit on a fee for development services or lease-to-purchase basis, put our resources and expertise to work for you.
