Families want public schools that work for their children.
Every student in Washington state deserves a public education that puts them on a path to a successful future, but one size does not fit all. Washington’s charter schools provide another public school option for families and students.
We provide funding to help ensure Washington state’s public charter schools continue to deliver proven results, are held to high standards, and are built around the strengths and needs of our students and communities.

More about what we do
Nearly 90% of Washington’s high schoolers say they want to continue their education after graduation, but only 50% enroll in postsecondary programs today. We’re working with partners to change that.
In the greater Seattle region, we provide flexible funding to strengthen local nonprofits and help them address emerging community needs—like housing security and homelessness.
