Opportunity Information: Apply for ED GRANTS 051625 001
The Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (OESE) Charter Schools Program (CSP) Grants for Credit Enhancement for Charter School Facilities (Assistance Listing Number 84.354A) is a discretionary, competitive grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Education. The core idea is to help charter schools access better and more affordable financing for school facilities, specifically by supporting intermediaries that can strengthen loan and bond deals tied to acquiring, constructing, or renovating charter school buildings. Rather than functioning like a direct facilities construction grant to individual schools, this program is geared toward entities that can use grant funds to "credit enhance" financing tools, which generally means reducing lender or investor risk and improving the terms under which charter schools can borrow money.
The purpose of the program is to expand the availability of loans and bond financing for charter school facilities and to encourage innovative financing approaches that make these projects more feasible. In practical terms, applicants are expected to propose mechanisms that help charter schools overcome common facilities barriers, like limited collateral, higher perceived lending risk, or unfavorable interest rates. Charter schools benefiting from these projects must provide elementary or secondary education (or both), and the notice also indicates they may serve students in early childhood education programs or postsecondary students, so long as the supported charter school work aligns with the program parameters described in the official Federal Register notice.
Eligibility is limited to certain types of organizations that can operate at a scale or in a role suited to structuring and supporting financing. Eligible applicants include (a) a public entity such as a State or local governmental entity, (b) a private nonprofit entity, or (c) a consortium made up of eligible public and/or private nonprofit entities. For nonprofit applicants, the Department points to the standard federal education grant rule at 34 CFR 75.51 for documenting nonprofit status. Acceptable documentation includes IRS recognition of 501(c)(3) status, certification from a State taxing body or State attorney general, incorporation documents that clearly establish nonprofit status, or equivalent documentation for a parent organization paired with a statement confirming the applicant is a local nonprofit affiliate.
Key administrative details from the listing include the funding opportunity number ED GRANTS 051625 001, an original application closing date of June 25, 2025, and an anticipated four awards. The award ceiling is not specified in the provided synopsis. Because this is only a synopsis, the Department emphasizes that applicants should rely on the official Federal Register application notice for the full set of requirements, including pre-application and application instructions, submission procedures, required performance measures, any program priorities, and points of contact. The notice also directs applicants to follow the Department of Education Revised Common Instructions for Applicants to Department of Education Discretionary Grant Programs (published December 23, 2024) for addresses and other standard submission guidance.Apply for ED GRANTS 051625 001
