The Founders Library is our movement’s memory—preserving the stories, voices, and documents that protect, educate, and inspire. But keeping history alive takes more than passion—it takes support.
Your gift ensures the lessons and bold ideas that shaped chartering are never lost. It honors the doers who helped build the movement, records oral histories, digitizes historical records and photos, and keeps the archive free and open to schools, boards, authorizers, funders, researchers, and advocates nationwide.
Together, we’ll preserve this history and fuel new thinking for years to come. Thank you for investing in the people and ideas that transform lives.
The Library is stewarded by the National Charter Schools Institute, a 501(c)(3) dedicated to safeguarding the legacy—and future—of chartering.
Give today. Share the history. Impact the future.
