Charter School Building Loans and FinancingCivic Builders helps charter schools get money to build, buy, or fix their school buildings. They offer special loans with low interest rates that are easier for schools to afford than regular bank loans. They have three main types of loans: predevelopment funds for early planning costs, facilities investment fund loans up to $25 million for construction and renovation, and New Markets Tax Credit financing. These loans help charter schools create permanent buildings so they can focus on teaching students instead of worrying about where to hold classes.

Charter School Real Estate and Financial ServicesCivic Builders helps charter schools find, build, and pay for permanent school buildings. They offer three main services: real estate development to build or find school facilities, loans and financial products to help schools afford buildings, and strategic advice to help schools plan their growth. Charter schools can fill out a form to request help with finding facilities, getting loans, or receiving guidance on expanding their school. The organization specializes in helping high-performing charter schools in communities that need more good schools.

Real Estate Development for Charter SchoolsCivic Builders helps charter schools build new school buildings. They are a nonprofit that puts schools first, not profits. They help with finding land, getting money, designing the building, and managing construction. Schools can rent the building or buy it later for less money than it cost to build. They have built 37 schools and created 16,500 student seats. They offer three main services: Turnkey Development (they handle everything), Purchase Option (buy your school for less), and Owner's Representative (project management help).

The secret of happiness, you see, is not found in seeking more, but in developing the capacity to enjoy less.
