Opportunity Summary:
The State Charter School Facilities Incentive Grants Program (CFDA 84.282D) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Innovation and Improvement, aimed at helping eligible states strengthen the way they fund charter school facilities. The central goal is to support states in establishing, improving, and administering per-pupil facilities aid programs that help charter schools cover facility-related costs. In practical terms, this program is meant to reduce one of the biggest barriers charter schools often face: paying for buildings, leases, renovations, and other facility needs without the same access to traditional district-owned infrastructure.
Eligibility is limited to state governments that have enacted a state law authorizing per-pupil facilities aid for charter schools. In other words, the state must already have a legal framework in place that provides ongoing, per-student support tied specifically to charter school facility expenses. The federal grant is designed to incentivize and reinforce these state-level commitments, rather than create facilities aid programs from scratch in states that do not have enabling legislation.
A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies. Under section 5205(b)(2)(C) of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (as amended by the No Child Left Behind Act), states, or closely collaborating partners, must provide matching funds. This means federal dollars are not intended to be the sole source of support; the program expects states to put their own resources on the table and demonstrate sustained investment in charter school facilities aid.
For this funding cycle, the opportunity was posted on January 15, 2009, with applications made available the same day. The deadline for submitting applications was July 1, 2009, and the opportunity was archived on July 31, 2009. The Department of Education anticipated making about four awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $14,782,000. The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is education.
Applications were required to be submitted electronically through Grants.gov using the governmentwide "Apply" function. Applicants were instructed to search by the CFDA number without the alpha suffix (meaning applicants should search for "84.282" rather than "84.282D") to find and download the correct application package, complete it offline, and upload it for submission. For technical assistance with submission, Grants.gov provided a helpdesk reachable at 1-800-518-4726 or support@grants.gov.
For program-specific questions or issues accessing the full announcement, the notice listed Department of Education contacts, including Joyce Mays (Management Analyst) at 202-245-6122 and joyce.mays@ed.gov, and Program Manager Valarie Perkins at 202-260-1924, located at the U.S. Department of Education, 400 Maryland Avenue, SW, room 4W258, Washington, DC 20202-5970. As with many federal opportunities, the summary emphasizes that the official, controlling requirements are those published in the Federal Register, including details on priorities, performance measures, and submission rules.
