How We Got Here
CAM was founded by two friends passionate about education, and with expertise in finance. They believed charter schools could improve our education system, but they knew those schools needed access to capital in order to succeed.
In 2013, CAM funded our first school in East Los Angeles. We’ve since funded over one billion dollars to charter schools nationwide. We’ve helped hundreds of charter schools to succeed, and start new initiatives like dual language immersion and STEM programs.
Today, CAM is one of the leading providers of financing to charter schools in the United States. We’re a proud part of the charter school movement, a vital part of the American educational system. We’ve always been committed to helping charter schools achieve their goals.
