The Department of Education’s Charter Schools Program (CSP) offers this Dissemination Grant (CFDA 84.282C) to increase national understanding of the charter school model. This grant provides financial assistance to eligible non-State educational agency (non-SEA) applicants, specifically for activities that disseminate information about high-quality charter schools. The purpose is to expand access to excellent charter school options across the Nation by sharing effective practices and evaluating their impact on students, academic achievement, staff, and parents. This funding is designed for non-SEAs in states without an approved CSP application, focusing solely on broader outreach and knowledge sharing, distinct from grants supporting initial planning or implementation.
