The Charter School Facility Grant (SB740) Program provides annual grants to offset annual on-going facility costs for charter schools that service a high-percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price meals (FRPM) or located in a public elementary school boundary serving a similar demographic. This program, previously administered by the California Department of Education, was transferred to the Authority in 2013-14. CSFA’s administration of the Charter School Facility Grant Program has resulted in an increase of funding to charter schools from $47 million in 2011-12 to $137 million in 2020-21.
