Charter School Loans


Charter School Financing for Quality, Equitable Education

Self-Help offers mission-focused lending that helps your school succeed.

We support public charter schools that create and expand quality educational opportunities for students who are poorly served by existing options, especially students of color, English language learners, students with learning differences, and those in low-income and rural communities.

In our lending, we keep equity at the forefront to ensure that the most vulnerable students have access not just to a high-quality education, but also to appropriate social and emotional support.
