Help Us Spread the Word!

The Founders Library exists for the public good—just like the very first libraries. It’s a free, digital collection of documents and oral histories that tell the story of the charter school movement and the pioneers who made it possible.

But to truly make an impact, these stories need to be seen and heard.

That’s where you come in.

Share the Library with your friends, colleagues, and networks.
By helping us spread the word, you’re ensuring this rich history reaches those who can learn from it, be inspired by it, and carry it forward.

Together, we can keep the story of chartering alive—one share at a time.
