Do schools receive startup funding?
Most charter schools apply for Colorado Charter School Grant funds for financial assistance with startup and implementation needs. Most, but not all, applications for startup grants receive funding. For more information on the Colorado Charter School Grant funding, see http://www.cde.state.co.us/cdechart/cchgrn00.htm. New charter schools are sometimes able to borrow funds from their authorizing school districts. In addition, there are a limited number of private grants for which charter schools may apply.
