About The Position
Civic Builders is a leading nonprofit lender and developer dedicated to advancing education through the development of public charter schools. Since 2002, we have empowered 83 schools nationwide, serving over 42,500 students annually with a remarkable 90% graduation rate. Our mission involves providing school facility development, access to affordable capital, and strategic advisory services to enhance public charter school environments in under-resourced communities.
In collaboration with the Walton Family Foundation, Civic has established the Facilities Investment Fund (FIF), investing over $225 million to finance facilities for high-performing charter schools and networks, impacting over 24,000 students and their communities.

Additionally, the SLO contributes to sourcing, underwriting, and closing New Markets Tax Credits (NMTC) transactions.
