The Charter School Growth Fund, a philanthropic venture firm that makes early-stage grants and loans for the development of charter management and support organizations, has created a Charter Market Database to assist charter school operators, funders and other members of the national charter community. The database currently has profiles of 15 states and tracks information regarding startup/expansion funding; ongoing funding; facilities funding; state legislature information; governor information; charter and choice legislation; advocacy and support; state accountability framework; performance data; state charter requirements; and several other variables. The Charter School Growth Fund hopes that the database will help the broad charter school community to understand the dynamics of different public charter school markets and to share knowledge of these dynamics with each other.
