About this program
The State Charter School Incentive Grant Program funds are applied toward a charter school’s annual costs of rent, lease, mortgage, debt service, or Proposition 39 pro-rata payments for facilities, or towards the costs of purchase, design, construction, and/or renovation of a new or existing facility.
In 2004, 2009, and 2014, the United States Department of Education approved grant awards to the Authority pursuant to the State Charter School Incentive Grant Program (Program), authorized under Title V, Part B, Subpart 1 of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, as amended by the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. The California School Finance Authority was recently awarded a $30 million grant award in Fall 2024. Per the Authority’s application to the Department of Education, the Authority is proposing three more funding rounds of the Program starting for the 2025-26 school year.

Run federal grants too?
State grants are free to browse and are not part of member fit-scoring, alerts, or the Tuesday digest — those cover federal grants. Members get every federal grant that opens fit-scored to their organization (the home page defines exactly what the board covers) — with an alert when a real match posts.
