Program description
The federally-funded Charter School Facilities Credit Enhancement Grant Program was created from a $20 million grant awarded in 2023 through the federal “Expanding Opportunity through Quality Charter Schools Program- Credit Enhancement (CE) Program” (ALN#84.354A) grant competition in 2023. This program provides grants to fully or partially fund debt service reserve accounts on bond transactions issued through the Authority. The grant is intended to reduce the overall cost of borrowing for charter schools as it eliminates the need to fund the reserve through bond proceeds.

💡 Tips for applicants
- Align your proposal with the three core goals: infection prevention, workforce recruitment/retention, and programmatic improvements. Reviewers prioritize applications addressing multiple goals.
- Document current staffing challenges and facility limitations in detail. Concrete examples of needs strengthen your application.
- Include a clear budget breakdown by category. Separate staffing, infrastructure, and equipment costs for transparency.
- Show how improvements will directly benefit participant safety and engagement. Connect each expense to measurable outcomes.
- Gather letters of support from staff, participants, or families. Demonstrated community support strengthens competitiveness.
⚠️ Common mistakes
Applications fail when they propose using funds to replace existing revenue sources instead of adding new capacity. Clearly distinguish new positions from existing funded roles. Many applications lack concrete outcome metrics or fail to explain how changes will improve participant care and safety outcomes. Weak applications don't align expenses clearly with the grant's core goals around infection prevention and workforce stability.
