Civic Builders is thrilled to announce the launch of our new FIF Predevelopment Loan Fund! At Civic Builders, we're committed to ensuring every student has access to a high-quality education through the creation of exceptional charter schools. With the launch of our Predevelopment Loan Fund, we're taking another crucial step towards making that vision a reality. The Predevelopment Loan Fund, provided in partnership with Walton Family Foundation and managed by Civic Builders, offers charter schools flexible, below-market-rate financing to support predevelopment expenses for their facility projects. The Predevelopment Loan Fund addresses a gap in the financing options for charter schools, especially for new and early-stage schools, by providing the necessary support to begin the construction process and to begin making their facility vision possible. With this fund, Civic will be able to reach even more schools nationwide, equipping them with the resources they need to secure a long-term home.
