How We Got Here

Charter School Management (CAM) was founded in 2013 by two friends with a shared passion for education and deep experience in finance. They saw that innovative educational institutions — particularly charter schools — often lacked access to reliable capital, limiting their ability to grow and serve students.

CAM’s first funding partnership was with a charter school in East Los Angeles. Since then, we have provided over $1 billion in financing to colleges, universities, charter schools, and private schools across the United States, helping educational institutions strengthen operations, invest in facilities, and pursue long-term growth.

Today, CAM is recognized as a leading provider of education-focused financing, committed to supporting schools at every level with flexible capital solutions that promote stability, growth and long-term success.

Making a Difference

 

At Charter Asset Management (CAM), our work goes beyond financing — we help educational institutions expand opportunities and strengthen communities.

Real Impact for Schools

One example is Arts in Action, a charter school focused on arts and entrepreneurship. CAM provided funding that helped the school expand its campus, hire additional teachers, and increase enrollment. As a result, students gained access to more programs and resources that support creativity, confidence, and problem-solving skills — a direct reflection of the difference thoughtful financing can make in students’ lives.

True Partnership

We work closely with school leaders to navigate the complexities of educational financing. From initial requests to ongoing support, CAM’s team is with you at every step — providing guidance, responsiveness, and a deep understanding of your institution’s goals.

Service with a Personal Touch

Our relationship doesn’t end when funding is provided. We support you with loan and factoring requests, maintenance, reporting, compliance, and any questions that arise — acting as a long-term partner dedicated to your success.
