Civic Builders Helps Build Better Schools for All Kids
Civic Builders helps create better schools for kids in neighborhoods that need them most. Since 2002, they have helped build over 100 schools across the country, serving more than 52,000 students each year. They do this by providing money and expertise to build modern charter schools in communities that have been left behind. Their main goal is to make sure every child has access to an inspiring, safe place to learn. They offer three main services: the Facilities Investment Fund that provides low-cost loans to schools, turnkey development services that handle everything from finding a location to building the school, and strategic advice to help schools grow. Civic Builders has invested over $1.8 billion into students, schools, and communities. They work with banks, foundations, and local partners to create educational spaces that not only serve students but also help strengthen entire neighborhoods. By focusing on charter schools in underserved areas, they tackle one of the biggest challenges these schools face - finding affordable, quality buildings. Their work helps level the playing field so all kids can access the quality education they deserve.
