The Charter School Growth Fund (CSGF)[1] is a Broomfield, Colorado-based[2] nonprofit philanthropic venture capital[3][4] fund that identifies the country's best public charter schools, funds their expansion, and helps to increase their impact. CSGF is driven by a conviction that all children deserve great public schools in their communities.[citation needed]
In 2011, CSGF received a $1.25 million grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.[5] Between 2001 and 2010, CSGF has received annual grants from the Bradley Foundation which totalled $16.5 million. The foundation increased their support to $3 million in 2012.[6] CSGF also received $101.6 million from the Walton Family Foundation.[7]
Dreambox Learning was acquired by CSGF in 2010. Dreambox was heavily funded through venture capital contributed by Reed Hastings, John Doerr, Deborah Quazzo (founder and managing partner at GSV Advisors), and GSV Capital.[8][9][10]
