Civic Builders

Civic Builders was established in 2002 to address the immediate need for charter school facilities support. By assuming development responsibilities such as financing, design, and construction, Civic Builders helps new charter schools open and growing charter schools reach more students. Since completing the first school building opening in 2004, Civic Builders has partnered with the best educators to build inspiring schools in underserved neighborhoods such as Harlem, South Bronx, Newark, and more. Civic Builders has worked with small, independent charter schools, as well as large charter networks on projects ranging from renovations to new construction.

Facilities Investment Fund is a $100M lending entity from the Building Equity Initiative, funded by the Walton Family Foundation and Bank of America Merrill Lynch, and managed by Civic Builders. This fund is a groundbreaking opportunity to improve the charter facilities financing market and help high-quality public charter schools find homes in the communities that need them most.
