Founders Library

Join a Campaign to Grow the Founders Library

Preserving history doesn’t have to be quiet work—we’re making it meaningful and fun. Through special campaigns, we’re rallying the charter community to celebrate, contribute, and grow the Founders Library together.

Whether it's giving $30 for 30 years of chartering, getting your state on the map, sharing a founding story, or helping us uncover hidden gems, there’s a role for everyone to play.

Here’s how you can get involved:

  • Gather documents, photos, or oral histories
  • Give a financial gift—every dollar helps
  • Share the Library with your networks

Every campaign is a chance to celebrate our collective legacy—and to make sure it’s never lost.

Let’s build something lasting, together.

$30 for 30 Years of Chartering

For 30 years, charter schools have changed lives. But keeping history alive takes more than passion—it takes support. Your $30 gift helps capture oral histories, digitize rare records and photos, and keeps the archive free and accessible to all.
