About Equitable Facilities Fund (EFF) 

Equitable Facilities Fund (EFF) is a nonprofit social impact fund on a nationwide mission to help high-performing public charter schools spend more on students and less on borrowing costs for their facilities. We offer school leaders simple and much-needed access to low-cost loans combined with support from an expert team that has walked in their shoes.

To date, EFF has invested over $2 billion in over 120 schools serving over 140,000 students across 24 states and Washington, D.C. Equity is at the core of our mission, and we seek to create opportunity for students and communities that have traditionally been denied access to high-quality educational opportunities. In 2023,  EFF launched Fund II through which we will commit an additional $1 billion, leading to $3 billion in investments by 2028.
